The Need to Rid the World of Inequality. Review of The 1% and the Rest of Us

Open Access

Abstract

FROM THE REVIEW: Tim Di Muzio, a senior lecturer in international relations and political economy at Wollongong University in Australia, has written a book – 'The 1% and the Rest of Us: A Political Economy of Dominant Ownership' (Zed Books, 2015) – that answers so many questions and provides so much relevant background to readily understand wealth and its maldistribution [. . .] 'The 1% and the Rest of Us' distills the concepts of capitalism, political economy, finance, inequality, the profligacy of the 1%-ers, and much more in morally coherent chunks of need-to-know information. It is a superb book.
