"“I hope we've not reached Peak Dorling – we need Danny’s wisdom and knowledge to help us root out injustice and work towards a better world.” Kate E. Pickett, University of York “A sobering and poignantly written wake-up call. With his trademark deployment of meticulous statistical evidence, Dorling catalogues the causes of Britain’s decline and proposes solutions for real change and repair.” David Olusoga, broadcaster and television producer “Danny Dorling charts the contours of our society with a self evident passion and creativity that not only explain its grotesque inequalities but inspire us to understand how we can radically change it.” Rt Hon John McDonnell, MP for Hayes and Harlington ""An urgent, accessible analysis of the genuine peril the UK is in, and what needs to change to get our country back on track."" Melissa Benn, writer and campaigner. “In this book, a world-class scholar of inequality convincingly makes the case that, despite everything, and not just perfunctorily, it’s worth having hope.” Marcos González Hernando, UCL Social Research Institute and Universidad Diego Portales ""Danny Dorling embodies the conscience of the left in Britain, disappointed, angry but still hopeful. This book raises uneasy questions about prolonged social injustice. A new government should answer them."" Guy Standing FAcSS, SOAS University of London"
