Danny Dorling - Peak Injustice book Talk with Yellow Lighted Bookshop

  • Brimscombe Mill England United Kingdom (map)

By 2024 a majority of parents in the UK with three or more children are going hungry to feed their families. Children in the UK are becoming shorter and childhood mortality is rising. What part does living with high inequality play in understanding how we have got to the point of peak injustice, when surely the situation cannot become worse?

When we think of economic inequality we tend to think of a trend that is ever rising and destined to continue rising; that is far from inevitable. There are many statistics today that point at Britain being at a peak of inequality.

Income inequality will almost certainly reduce in the years and decades to come; decade after decade after decade. And we will slowly learn what most other people in the rich world know, that having more and more money doesn’t make you happier; it doesn’t make your country more sustainable; and it doesn’t solve the problems of the planet.

IMPORTANT NOTE - Wrap up warm - it's a draughty venue!
