« Les hommes sont plus riches que les femmes. Dès l’enfance, les garçons reçoivent plus d’argent de poche que les filles. Adultes, à poste égal, les femmes sont moins bien payées que les hommes. Et le couple accentue encore les inégalités : au cours de la vie à deux, l’écart ne cesse de se creuser, sans que ni l’une ni l’autre ne s’en rende compte. Ou bien préfère l’ignorer. Chaque fois, il y a des explications et une combinaison de “bonnes raisons” mais le tableau général est accablant. J’écris depuis des années sur les violences sexuelles, le travail domestique, l’invisibilisation des femmes.

In Administrative Burden, Herd and Moynihan document that the administrative burdens citizens regularly encounter in their interactions with the state are not simply unintended byproducts of governance, but the result of deliberate policy choices.

Das resiliente Wir. Wieviel Polarisierung können wir aushalten und wann bricht eine Gesellschaft einfach auseinander? 2015/2016 führt die Flüchtlingskrise zu einem Erstarken rechtspopulistischer Kräfte; 2020 ändert ein neuartiges Virus schlagartig unsere Lebensrealität und wirkt wie ein Brandbeschleuniger für soziale Ungleichheiten; 2022 beginnt Putin vor den Augen der Welt einen Vernichtungskrieg gegen die Ukraine, mit schweren Folgen auch für die deutsche Wirtschaft. Und die größte Krise in Form der sich anbahnenden Klimakatastrophe steht uns erst noch bevor.

A thrilling and vivid work of history, Class War weaves together literature and politics to chart the making and unmaking of social class through revolutionary combat. In a narrative that spans the globe and more than two centuries of history, Mark Steven traces the history of class war from the Haitian Revolution to Black Lives Matter.

Growing up poor, Deborah Dundas knew what it meant to want, to be hungry, and to long for social and economic dignity; she understood the crushing weight of having nothing much expected of you. But even after overcoming many of the usual barriers faced by lower- and working-class people, she still felt anxious about her place, and even in relatively safe spaces reluctant to broach the subject of class. While new social movements have generated open conversation about gender and racism, discussions of class rarely include the voices of those most deeply affected: the working class and poor.

Das „Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei“ wurde von Karl Marx und Friedrich Engels im Auftrag des zweiten Kongresses des „Bundes der Kommunisten“ (November /Dezember 1847) ausgearbeitet und Ende Februar 1848 in London in deutscher Sprache als Programm des Bundes veröffentlicht. Es ist die Geburtsurkunde des wissenschaftlichen Kommunismus und das erste marxistische Parteiprogramm in der internationalen Arbeiterbewegung, es markiert den Beginn der internationalen kommunistischen Bewegung.

What do people in the United States and Europe think about the rich? There are several thousand books and articles on stereotypes and prejudices directed at women, people of various races or nationalities, and even the poor. In contrast, there has only been sporadic research into stereotypes about the rich, and no published comprehensive, scientific study on the topic—until now.

Det borgerlige Danmark er i krise. Selv om det fortsat ligner dødt løb i dansk politik mellem rød og blå blok, dækker meningsmålingerne over en dybereliggende idémæssig krise i den borgerlige lejr.

Blå blok har ikke formået at forny det borgerlige projekt i takt med de økonomiske, teknologiske og kulturelle ændringer, som globaliseringen har ført med sig. Det borgerlige projekt har i alt for høj grad handlet om at forsvare individet, men i dag er det fællesskabet og det kollektive, der er under pres. I denne postliberale virkelighed kæmper en splittet blå blok for at holde sig relevante.

JEG ANERKENDER IKKE LÆNGERE JERES AUTORITET er et indigneret, selvudleverende og ømt manifest om klasseskam, prol og elite, om provinsbøsser og repræsentationssmykker, moralisme og hykleri, om Tiger King og Anna og Lotte, om dem, der altid får taletid, og dem, der ikke føler sig berettiget til en stemme. Med vrede, misundelse og humor brænder Glenn Bech alle illusioner om lige muligheder ned og insisterer på at tale ud fra sine egne erfaringer i klassesamfundet.

Through a colourful, entertaining examination of her own family—which in addition to her writer father Philip and her historian grandfather Arnold contains everyone from the Glenconners to Jessica Mitford to Bertrand Russell, and features ancestral home Castle Howard as a backdrop—Toynbee explores the myth of mobility, the guilt of privilege, and asks for a truly honest conversation about class in Britain.

Rassismus, Sexismus, Klassismus sind Sprachen der Unterdrückung. Die Grammatik, die ihnen unsichtbar zugrunde liegt, ist das System der Kaste. In ihrer augenöffnenden Analyse legt die Historikerin und Journalistin Isabel Wilkerson den Blick frei auf eben dieses Regelwerk, nach dem wir entscheiden, wem in einer Gesellschaft Ressourcen und Respekt zugestanden werden – und wem nicht. Wilkerson betrachtet neben den USA die Kastensysteme Indiens und des Dritten Reichs.

Der Sozialstaat hat in den Jahrzehnten der Ökologie die Ökologie erfolgreich vermieden. Die Grenzen des Wachstums waren für die Verteidiger des Sozialen sozial uninteressant, Arbeitsplätze waren wichtiger als Nistplätze. Die Klimakrise hat dieses Desinteresse unterminiert. Zunehmend tauchen die Sozialwissenschaften im Feld der Nachhaltigkeitsforschung auf und Sozialpolitikerinnen wollen das Klima schützen. Der Essay "Soziales Klima" durchmisst das Feld der Sozialen Nachhaltigkeit mit den Mitteln einer ganzheitlichen, an Hegel und Parsons informierten Soziologie.

Golondrinas es un barrio marginal de Ecatepec, en la periferia de la Ciudad de México.y en el imaginario mexicano, Ecatepec es el infierno. La cuestión es que Golondrinas es el futuro del mundo: en 2050, nueve de cada 10 mexicanos vivirán en slums como éste. Es el pasado, el presente y el futuro de un planeta que se empobrece, se precariza y se sobrecalienta.

Michelle Obama, Ugur Sahin, Frank-Walter Steinmeier: Sie erbten keine Privilegien oder Firmen in dritter Generation. Aus bescheidenen sozialen Bedingungen arbeiteten sie sich bis zum Vorbild hoch.

In ihrem neuen Buch geht Doris Märtin den Chancen, aber auch den Mühen und Fallen des sozialen Aufstiegs nach. Realistisch und konkret zeigt sie, wie sich das Beste aus den Karten herausholen lässt, die einem das Schicksal zugeteilt hat.

The leading lights of the tech revolution – Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk – have been hailed as savants and saviours of the modern age. And yet they are at the forefront of wealth inequality not seen since the heyday of the robber barons in the late 19th century, part of the slide to the First World War. Today, rampant inequality is inciting social unrest and undermining faith in the institutions of the democratic state. Citizens have been left at the mercy of unfettered capitalism – mere data subjects, endlessly surveilled, marshalled and increasingly angry and polarised.

The Education Myth questions the idea that education represents the best, if not the only, way for Americans to access economic opportunity. As Jon Shelton shows, linking education to economic well-being was not politically inevitable. In the 18th and 19th centuries, for instance, public education was championed as a way to help citizens learn how to participate in a democracy. By the 1930s, public education, along with union rights and social security, formed an important component of a broad-based fight for social democracy.
