The Killing Fields of Inequality
"Covering the world, Göran Therborn shows how devastating are his three types of inequality (vital, existential and resource) and their mechanisms of reproduction (distanciation, exclusion and exploitation). Lucid, persuasive and learnedThe Killing Fields of Inequalityis a must-read for those concerned about the most pressing topic of our time."Michael Burawoy, University of California, Berkeley"A great book. With a light touch, it provides a brief but comprehensive survey of all the main dimensions of inequality. Written with insight, commitment to social justice, and ability to see what matters, it becomes a book about social progress itself. It ends with a perceptive discussion of the next steps towards a more egalitarian future."Richard Wilkinson, University of Nottingham
