Shattered Nation: inequality and geography of a failing state
16/10/2023 @ 18:30 - 20:00 BST
AN IN-PERSON AND ONLINE EVENT:
Britain was once the leading economy in Europe; it is now the most unequal. Fifty years ago the UK led the world in child health; today, twenty-two of the twenty-seven EU countries have better mortality rates for newborns. No other European country has such miserly unemployment benefits; university fees so high; housing so unaffordable; or a government economically so far to the right.
To mark the launch of his new book Shattered Nation, geographer Danny Dorling will explain why we are growing further and further apart, exposing a new geography of inequality.
