Injustice Why Social Inequality Persists

Injustice: Why Social Inequality Persists by Daniel Dorling, published by Policy Press in 2011, is a revised edition that spans 403 pages. This book explores the persistent nature of social inequality, examining the underlying causes that contribute to its continuation in contemporary society. Dorling presents a critical analysis of the evolving social evils that replace those previously identified by Beveridge, arguing that notions such as elitism, exclusion, prejudice, greed, and despair have become entrenched in modern discourse.

Readers will find a thorough examination of who suffers most from these injustices and the dynamics that favor those who benefit from them. The book includes a new foreword by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, as well as an afterword by Dorling that updates recent developments in the field. With a focus on law, social science, and sociology, this edition serves as a significant resource for those interested in understanding the complexities of poverty and homelessness within the framework of social justice.
