Paperback. Condizione: New. In highly unequal societies such as the UK, where the top 10% take a higher share of disposable income than in most other European countries, many feel resentment towards high earners. On paper, they are doing well, but inequality isn't even working for them.Uncomfortably Off reveals that those generally considered to be the most affluent feel anxious about the future and struggle to keep up, or even to stay put. They are starting to doubt their common sense ideas about hard work and meritocracy as work pays less and less and life is becoming more uncomfortable.This book makes two crucial arguments. First, reducing income inequality will benefit everyone, even those quite near the top. Second, we need to understand the anxieties of high earners to understand their politics. As leading managers and professionals they have disproportionate influence on the institutions that rule over our public life. Their interests are ultimately not that dissimilar from those of the median earner: being able to afford a good quality of life in an ever more expensive and uncertain world. The hope of this book is to prompt high earners to question accepted truths and long-held beliefs that affect how they see themselves and judge others. In doing so, it seeks to help us all understand why dismissing the concerns of this group will not help in the fight to solve inequality. Codice articolo LU-9781447367529

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Media attention is often focused on the very richest, the 1%, and their capacity to influence politics and shape society. But they are not the only ones who drive politics, the public conversation and much of the private sector. The focus of this book is on the larger group between the 1% and the 10%. These are the managers and professionals of our media, business, the third sector, political parties and academia and are just as influential.However, many would not recognise themselves as high earners at all. In fact, earning around 60,000 a year in Britain places you in the top 10% of income earners. Maybe you're surprised you fall into this category, or are not as far off as you thought.But despite this group's relative advantage and comfort, these high earners don't feel politically empowered. They worry about their income and are anxious about the future. Most of them are more likely to move down the income ladder than up it.Drawing attention to this powerful section of society, this book explains why, even if you are relatively near the top, it is in your interest that inequality is reduced and you can help make that happen.'Fascinating and telling insights into the situations and views of the top 10 per cent: an under-researched and in many ways invisible - yet politically significant - group.' - Professor the Baroness (Ruth) Lister of Burtersett'A brilliant study in how understanding the fears, feelings and hopes of the best-off tenth of our societies helps explain why we hold so tightly to inequality.' - Danny Dorling, University of Oxford Uncomfortably Off reveals that those generally considered to be the most affluent feel anxious about the future and struggle to keep up, or even to stay put., but reducing income inequality will benefit everyone, even those quite near the top.
