The authors provide a comprehensive historical account of inequality, and show how that account no longer adequately explains the new and different forms experienced in recent decades. They argue that transformations in industrial, familial and political relations since the 1970s must be taken into account when trying to come to grips with the 'new' inequalities. As society has changed, new forms of inequality have emerged, conditioning the subject's very experience of identity, embodiment and politics. Inequality is understood, then, not as something that can be determined only with reference to traditional categories such as class but as that which works more insidiously. The authors demonstrate, for example, how bio and medical technologies produce inequalities. The book is at once a critical overview of contemporary inequality and a thorough-going textbook suitable for undergraduates. 606 $aSocial classes$zAustralia 606 $aEquality$zAustralia 607 $aAustralia$xSocial conditions$y21st century 607 $aAustralia$xEconomic conditions$y21st century 607 $aAustralia$xSocial policy 615 0$aSocial classes 615 0$aEquality 676 $a305/.0994 700 $aGreig$b Alastair$f1960-$01566488 702 $aLewins$b Frank W$g(Frank William), 702 $aWhite$b Kevin$cPh.
