{"product_id":"highly-discriminating-louise-ashley-9781529209648","title":"Highly Discriminating: Why the City Isn't Fair and Diversity Doesn't Work","description":"Why does the City of London, despite an apparent commitment to recruitment and progression based on objective merit within its hiring practices, continue to reproduce the status quo? Written by a leading expert on diversity and elite professions, this book examines issues of equality in the City, what its practitioners say in public and what they think behind closed doors. Drawing on research, interviews, practitioner literature and internal reports, it argues that hiring practices in the City are highly discriminating in favour of a narrow pool of affluent applicants, and future progress may only be achieved by the state taking a greater role in organizational life. It calls for a policy shift at both the organizational and governmental level to address the implications of widening inequality in the UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louise Ashley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529209641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529209648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Louise Ashley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44126877417727,"sku":"9781529209648","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c3b1b7e-773e-4e2b-a5c6-508abb5f9df4.jpg?v=1687450644","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/highly-discriminating-louise-ashley-9781529209648","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
