Abstract

When invited to review this book I approached its content with eager anticipation, why you
might ask? The answer is quite literally because I am so used to thinking about ‘inequality’
that the title of this book, in its very essence, challenges some of the fundamental
assumptions that we may hold with regards to the way we observe, discuss and analyse social
interactions in society. This book usurps some of these assumptions. The concept is
straightforward; a ‘no-nonsense guide to equality, inequalities are not forgotten or dismissed;
instead the reader is invited to think about equality and inequality in society and the impact
that greater equality may bring with it
