Sommario/riassunto |
|
Public debates tend to see social inequality as resulting from individual decisions people make, for instance with respect to their education or lifestyle. Solutions are often sought in supporting individuals to make better choices. This neglects the importance of social groups and communities in determining individual outcomes. A moral perspective on social inequality questions the fairness of insisting on individual responsibilities, when members of some groups systematically receive fewer opportunities than others. The essays in this book have been prepared by experts from different disciplines, ranging from philosophy to engineering, and from economics to epidemiology. On the basis of recent scientific insights, World of Difference examines how group memberships impact on individual outcomes in four key domains: health, education and work, migration, and the environment. This offers a new moral perspective on social inequality, which policy makers tend to neglect. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The idea of a corporate university has taken root and is beginning to flourish. Whether that continues remains to be seen but two things are already clear: the number of organisations claiming to operate a corporate university has risen significantly over the last ten years or so; and, no doubt associated with that rise in number, interest in corporate universities on the part of professional practitioners and academic researchers has also increased. |
