Více o knize

Focusing on the multifaceted nature of social inequality, the book examines wealth and income distribution in Europe throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries. It highlights often-overlooked factors such as education, health, and housing, challenging the belief that capitalism inherently leads to wealth gaps. By analyzing historical events, including wars and economic crises, Hartmut Kaelble provides insights into how these dynamics have shaped contemporary social inequality and offers a nuanced perspective on potential solutions.
