Full Description
The Great Social Divide examines one of the defining questions of our time: why have unprecedented economic growth and global prosperity coincided with rising inequality, political polarisation, and declining trust in democracy? Challenging the assumption that free markets and democratic governance naturally reinforce one another, this book explores how decades of neoliberal reforms have reshaped economies, societies, and political institutions. Combining rigorous research with accessible analysis, the chapters reveal the structural tensions between market-driven policies and democratic ideals, explaining how wealth concentration, social fragmentation, and political influence have become increasingly intertwined.
Timely and thought-provoking, The Great Social Divide offers scholars, policymakers, students, and engaged readers a compelling framework for understanding the crises facing contemporary democracies—and asks whether democracy can be renewed, or whether a fundamentally new economic and political settlement is required for the twenty-first century.
