{"product_id":"a-question-of-inequality-the-christopher-steed-9781788311533","title":"A Question of Inequality The Politics of Equal Worth","description":"Inequality is widening. In the twenty-first century, the gap between those who have more and those who have less is growing: 1 per cent of the world owns as much as the other 99 per cent. Should we be worried? Christopher Steed, author of the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eA Question of Worth\u003c\/i\u003e, argues that inequality does indeed matter: that economic fairness is one of the defining issues of our time. In a world conditioned by social media, enabling intensified social comparison, the anxieties and effects of contemporary inequality are a cause for huge concern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite a wealth of research around inequality most studies have concentrated on its quantitative aspects. In \u003ci\u003eA Question of Inequality, \u003c\/i\u003eChristopher Steed is concerned with exploring why inequality matters, what it means for those who find themselves victims of it, and what can be done about it. He probes what it means to experience inequality, drawing out case studies on the effects of poverty. In proposing a theory of social relativity the author provides new insights into the effects and meaning of inequality and makes an original and important contribution to a key issue facing the world today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Steed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788311531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788311533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2019","brand":"Christopher Steed","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153838027007,"sku":"9781788311533","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c9d5d2d-4268-4b92-b1d5-5dcd45eef745.jpg?v=1770786169","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-question-of-inequality-the-christopher-steed-9781788311533","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
