'A very important addition to the growing literature on rising inequality - reflecting the rising of public anxiety about the future of human togetherness. An erudite, in-depth analysis of the three hundred years long history of the modern postulate/promise of leveling up the differences between individuals' life quality, life's prospects as well as the social positions that result the degrees of social recognition and respect those positions offer; and an insight into the short-, middle- and long-term consequences of the collapse of that postulate and the withdrawal of that promise.'- Zygmunt Bauman, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Leeds, UK
