Philosophers and social theorists have long debated what equality is, and this book probes what this means for both those at the centre and on the margins of society. Britain is in many ways a fairer and more equal society today than at any other time in living memory. One hundred years ago women were not allowed to vote: this seems preposterous now. It is an undeniable truth, however, that inequalities still persist today. In some cases they seem to grow.
