Why We Disagree about Inequality: Social Justice vs. Social Order by John Icelan

Description: Why We Disagree about Inequality by John Iceland, Eric Silver, Ilana Redstone Why do we disagree about the causes of and solutions to social inequality? What explains our different viewpoints on Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, income inequality, and immigration? In this tightly argued book, John Iceland, Eric Silver, and Ilana Redstone show how two clashing worldviews – one emphasizing Social Justice and another Social Order – are preventing Americans from solving their most pressing social problems. The authors show how each worldview provides a different understanding of human nature, morality, social change, and the wisdom of the past. They argue that, before Americans can find lasting solutions to todays seemingly intractable societal challenges, they will need to recognize that each side possesses a wisdom the other lacks. Only then can we achieve the common ground and consensus we seek.

Income Inequality and Poverty Chapter 6. Immigration Chapter 7. Where Do We Go from Here? Review "Americans disagree over the priority of social justice and social order. This simple framework does an astonishing amount of moral, political, and empirical work in explaining contention over fractious issues of racial, gender, and class inequalities, as well as who deserves to become an American. If any book can make us communicate better and engage more effectively, this is the one."Jennifer Hochschild, Harvard University"It might be thought that the typical persons views about gender, racial, or income inequality are a booming-buzzing admixture of beliefs that accrete in happenstance fashion. Not so! In this elegant contribution, its argued that there are but two inequality worldviews in play, each very coherently organized around different first principles. A bold analysis of the cultural underpinnings of todays inequality wars."David B. Grusky, Stanford University"Original and persuasive. The culture war is one of the most important and most discussed but also ill-defined issues shaping contemporary society. The book offers a very useful and well-argued framework for explaining the differences between the two warring parties in the culture war."Luke Hildyard, Director of the High Pay Centre Details ISBN1509557121 Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781509557127 Format Hardcover Imprint Polity Press Place of Publication Oxford Country of Publication United Kingdom ISBN-10 1509557121 Illustrator Freya Hartas Edited by Ada Yardeni Position Professor of Criminology Qualifications MD MPA Pages 208 Author Ilana Redstone Publication Date 2023-04-28 Subtitle Social Justice vs. Social Order NZ Release Date 2023-04-28 UK Release Date 2023-04-28 Publisher John Wiley and Sons Ltd Alternative 9781509557134 DEWEY 305.0973 Audience Professional & Vocational AU Release Date 2023-04-27 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
