Description

Social inequality is a growing threat to our collective future both within and among nations. In this work, McNall explores how rising inequality levels jeopardize the democratic project by destroying the trust that governments need to function. When social gaps widen, they often lead to corrupt political and economic institutions that hinder progress. This book examines the reality that upwards of 80% of people's life chances are currently determined by factors beyond their control. By drawing on diverse examples from various countries, the text looks at the social and economic drivers behind these disparities. It offers a deep look at the traps created by modern systems and explores the necessity of rebooting capitalism to protect our planet and our democratic values. This is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the deep-seated challenges facing modern society and finding paths toward a more equitable world.
