Recenzje

'Platt's brilliant razor-sharp forensic analysis not only reveals the shocking disparities between rich and poor but uniquely shows how social class and the inequalities of ethnicity, gender, migration and disability intersect and affect people's intimate and lived lives.'Heidi Mirza, Emeritus Professor, UCL Institute of Education'With inequality now at the forefront of political debate, this outstanding book provides a clear, comprehensive and nuanced overview of what is known about the extent and nature of inequalities on key dimensions and the linkages across them.'Brian Nolan, University of Oxford
