A fresh take on social class from the experts behind the BBC's 'Great British Class Survey'. Why does social class matter more than ever in Britain today? How has the meaning of class changed? What does this mean for social mobility and inequality? In this book Mike Savage and the team of sociologists responsible for the Great British Class Survey look beyond the labels to explore how and why our society is changing and what this means for the people who find themselves in the margins as well as in the centre. Their new conceptualization of class is based on the distribution of three kinds of capital - economic (inequalities in income and wealth), social (the different kinds of people we know) and cultural (the ways in which our leisure and cultural preferences are exclusive) - and provides incontrovertible evidence that class is as powerful and relevant today as it's ever been.

This pioneering work transcends economic discussions to illustrate how rising inequality is reverting societies to a past characterized by empires, dynastic elites, and ethnic divisions. The stark reality is that wealth is increasingly concentrated, with the super-rich distancing themselves from the affluent. While mainstream economists downplay concerns about distribution in favor of growth, the author, acclaimed sociologist Mike Savage, argues that inequality has severe negative impacts on societal structures. He demonstrates how economic disparity exacerbates cultural, social, and political tensions, undermining the integrity of liberal democratic nation-states. This severe inequality fractures social bonds and aligns democratic processes with the interests of a resurgent aristocracy, reviving political conditions reminiscent of historical empires and elite dominance. Inequality threatens to drag us back to a history we believed we had left behind since the Age of Revolution. Savage emphasizes that Western societies have been slow to recognize how inequality erodes the foundations of liberal democracy, including trust in the political community's commitment to all members. By engaging with the theories of thinkers like Marx, Bourdieu, and Piketty, he reveals how inequality reintroduces the burdens of the past. This work is both analytically rigorous and passionately argued, making it a crucial contribution to contemporary p

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the real national zoo! As Aristotle said, "Man is a political animal." Talk radio sensation and "New York Times" best-selling author Michael Savage is afraid that the ancient philosopher was all too right, and in ways he never could have imagined. In Savage's funniest, most biting book yet, the nation's fiercest independent thinker invites you to take a riotous tour through "The Political Zoo"-an outrageous look at today's most prominent politicos and pundits as the reptiles, rats, and birds of prey they most resemble. Animal by animal and cage by cage, Savage brandishes his irreverent wit to keep these beasts in check. Serving as resident biologist and zookeeper, Dr. Savage asks that you watch your step when approaching the widemouth copperhead Ted Turner (also known as "Mouthus desouthus"), do not feed the ego of stuffed turkey Alec Baldwin ("Notalentus anti-americanus"), and please keep your children with you at all times around wolf boy Bill Clinton ("Fondlem undgropeum"). ""The world of politics is filled with uncivilized, snarling, rapacious beasts that, like untrained mutts, raise their legs and urinate on everything we hold dear,"" says Savage. And this sensational book is your guide for navigating the jungle of today's animal-political kingdom.

America's bravest voice returns with a fierce critique of six decades of radical liberalism, declaring that the nation is "teetering on the cliffs of insanity." With the conviction of a modern-day prophet, the author speaks for those frustrated by the influence of today's "psycho liberals," whom he identifies as Democrats. He argues that they are racing down a path of misguided intentions, promoting a culture that celebrates perversity, embraces ultra-tolerance, and supports reparations and affirmative racism, all while pushing failed socialist ideals that threaten total destruction. In this provocative work, the author targets the liberal assault on cherished institutions, advocating for schools, faith, law enforcement, and families. While the content may provoke discomfort, it consistently reveals the author's unfiltered truth about confronting "The Enemy Within." Filled with passionate rage and sharp humor, the book serves as a rallying cry for Americans to reclaim their country, government, and national integrity. As he raises his weapons of wit and moxie, the author encourages readers to engage in the fight for a better future, making this work both an inspiration and a call to action.

"A blazing flamethrower of truth, Michael Savage pulls no punches and goes right for the jugular with facts, not vacuous hyperbole." —Ted Nugent, Washington Times Michael Savage, the mega-popular radio host and New York Times bestselling author of Trickle Up Poverty , offers an explosive election-year call to arms to retake the White House from the clutches of tyranny and preserve American greatness. Staunchly determined to help "crush Barack Obama's dreams of a Socialist America," Savage unleashes a relentless barrage of conservative common sense in Trickle Down Tyranny , designed to help patriotic citizens preserve what is good and right in our imperiled nation.

Michael Savage attacks big government and liberal media bias. The son of immigrants, Savage shows how traditional American freedoms are being destroyed from the outside and undermined from within-not just our own government, but also from alien forces within our own society. Savage argues that if the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, then only a more "savage nation" will enjoy these liberties. Savage's high ratings and the rapid growth of his program prove he is in touch with the concerns of the average American.

Dr. Savage, sage prophet of the airwaves, has been diagnosing liberal mental illness for more than a decade. Now, in his third and most insightful book, he strikes at the root of today's most desperate issues, providing a hefty dose of his unique conservative medicine, including: Homeland security: "We need more Patton and less patent leather. . .Real homeland security begins when we arrest, interrogate, jail, or deport known operatives within our own borders. . .One dirty bomb can ruin your whole day." The ACLU, National Lawyers Guild, and MoveOn.org: "I believe it's time for the heads of . . . left-wing agitation groups who are using the courts to impose their will on the sheeple to be prosecuted under the federal RICO statutes." Illegal immigration: "I envision an Oil for Illegals program. . .The president should demand one barrel of oil from Mexico for every illegal alien that sneaks into our country." The Doctor is in and the diagnosis is clear. Read "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder" and find out what you can do to treat it.

Mit der Laudatio von Monika Krause zur Verleihung des Siegfried-Landshut-Preises Immer mehr Vermögen liegt in immer weniger Händen. Oder anders gesagt: Die Reichen haben sich vom Rest der Gesellschaft entfernt, und die Superreichen haben sich von den Reichen entfernt. Die enorme Vermögensungleichheit bringt uns zurück in die Vergangenheit. Sie lässt, so der renommierte Soziologe Mike Savage, Zustände aufleben, von denen wir dachten, wir hätten sie überwunden: dynastischen Elitismus, Klientelismus und vererbte Privilegien. Die ökonomische Ungleichheit verschärft so auch kulturelle, soziale und politische Konflikte. Und diese Entwicklungen untergraben letztlich die Grundlagen liberaler Demokratien: den Glauben an Fortschritt für alle und das Vertrauen in die Fürsorge der politischen Gemeinschaft für ihre Mitglieder. Die Rückkehr der Ungleichheit ist eine bahnbrechende Studie, die durch ihre theoretische Breite und ihre historische Herangehensweise einen entscheidenden Beitrag zum Verständnis der Auswirkungen wachsender Ungleichheit leistet. Darüber hinaus entwickelt Mike Savage in seinem hochaktuellen Buch Vorschläge, wie wir den Herausforderungen begegnen können: analytisch streng, aber leidenschaftlich argumentierend.
