Explore the thought-provoking book, 'Do We Need Economic Inequality?' by Danny Dorling, a critical examination of economic disparities that challenges prevailing norms. This insightful work delves into the historical and contemporary views on economic inequality, urging readers to reconsider the widespread belief that it is a necessity. With an ISBN of 9781509516551, the book is published by John Wiley & Sons and features 140 pages of compelling arguments that analyze the essential question: is economic inequality truly an inevitability?Dorling raises important questions about our socio-economic future, positing that current high levels of inequality may merely be a transitional phase rather than a permanent state. Drawing upon historical trends, he examines how changing demographics, evolving gender relations, and increased access to education can lead to a more equitable society, challenging the dystopian forecasts of a stark divide between the rich and the poor.
This essential reading for anyone concerned with economic and social issues encourages a debate on the future of wealth distribution. As we consider our political destiny, Dorling’s ideas present a more hopeful outlook—one where economic equality can be achieved. Don't miss the opportunity to explore these pivotal concepts in this brand new edition from 2017.

Description:
Although economic inequality provokes widespread disquiet, its supposed necessity is rarely questioned. At best, a basic level of inequality is seen as a necessary evil. At worst, it is seen as insufficient to encourage aspiration, hard work and investment “ a refrain sometimes used to advocate ever greater inequality.
In this original new book, Danny Dorling critically analyses historical trends and contemporary assumptions in order to question the idea that inequality is an inevitability. What if, he asks, widespread economic inequality is actually just a passing phase, a feature of the capitalist transition from a settled rural way of life to our next highly urban steady-state? Is it really likely that we face a Blade Runner-style dystopian future divided between a tiny elite and an impoverished mass?
Dorling shows how, amongst much else, a stabilizing population, changing gender relations and rising access to education make a more egalitarian alternative to this nightmare vision not only preferable, but realistic. This bold contribution to one of the most significant debates of our time will be essential reading for anyone interested in our economic, social and political destiny.

Looks exactly as pictured
Color: Gold
Bought this as a graduation gift for a sons friend who admired a similar one on vacation with us. He really liked it and it is a nice entry level dress watch for those who like to collect them. It was easy to adjust the band with a personal watch kit and was heavier than I expected.

Simple, elegant, versatile
Premium quality at a reasonable price. Simple and elegant. I have yet to wear this watch without receiving multiple compliments, even in sweatpants on my way to the gym. I took it to a high-end jewelry store to have some links removed, the master jeweler there immediately commented on the quality of the movement and what an underrated watch Tissot makes. (Mind you, he had a table full of Rolexes, AP's and Pateks that he was working on) Very comfortable to wear, heavy enough to feel it on your wrist and light enough where it doesnt not become cumbersome.
