KNYGA Mike Savage The Return of Inequality

In "Return of Inequality," sociologist Mike Savage delves into the pressing issue of economic inequality and its far-reaching impacts on society. Published by Harvard University Press in 2021, this thought-provoking hardback spans 448 pages and explores how rising inequality exacerbates cultural, social, and political conflicts, ultimately challenging the very foundations of liberal democracy. Savage argues that the growing divide fractures social bonds, leading us back to historical struggles against empire, dynastic elitism, and volatile ethnic divisions. This compelling examination not only highlights the dangers of inequality but also urges readers to confront the realities of a world increasingly shaped by these disparities. A must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of economics, society, and politics, "Return of Inequality" is essential for understanding the complexities of our contemporary landscape.
