Reviews

""Anger at inequality has been a central feature of politics in the last 20 years ... Alex Callinicos's book, which examines both the concept and reality of equality, therefore comes at an important time."" Socialist Review ""Callinicos distinguishes himself from the majority of recent writers by his highly developed awareness of the historical and political context of philosophical enquiry ... Equality is a topical and provocative book."" John Gray, Times Literary Supplement ""This is not just [a] book about ideas but about the political economy and sociology of capitalism underlying them."" Millennium ""Overall, this is a book that has a lot to recommend it. It is short, highly readable, and provides an informed and critical perspective on recent normative theory while highlighting the salience of actual inequality...a well-argued and stimulating book that deserves a wide readership."" Gary K. Browning, 'Democratization' ""Excellent contribution...Callinicos offers a timely and sustained critique of neo-liberal capitalism in general, and the Blair government in particular."" Brian Morris, Anarchist Studies ""In this important book, Alex Callinicos explores the meaning of equality in the contemporary world."" Philosophical Inquiry
