There aren&#39;t enough socially conscious, *thoughtful* bloggers on these here internets. I&#39;m glad I know you.InnyVinnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18107007854190057748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067562239603263939.post-13954002716407213362010-08-25T00:59:54.493-04:002010-08-25T00:59:54.493-04:00@Daisy -<br />Yes for sure, there will always be people who BELIEVE they are above one or another group of people. But the book isn&#39;t really about socially constructed prejudices or perceptions; it takes statistics for social problems - violence, mental health, disease, infant mortality, etc - and puts those numbers against economic (financial) inequality in 20 &quot;developed societies&quot; as well as the 50 American states. All of the studies show that greater inequality - that is a greater distance between the very rich and the very poor; the highest incomes and lowest incomes - invariably leads to a rise in any given number of social problems. I wish it was more comprehensive, but it&#39;s still fairly insightful!Kristinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04309787738597146157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067562239603263939.post-27581552616612326812010-08-25T00:53:53.589-04:002010-08-25T00:53:53.589-04:00For there to be equality in society (in general) would be almost impossible. I don&#39;t mean to be pessimistic, but there will always be people who believe they are above everyone else, and people being taken advantage of, etc. And its very interesting that there is something like &quot;insecure high self esteem&quot;. Great post :)<br /><br />love,<br />lasenoritadaisy.blogspot.comDaisyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04606003977705346918noreply@blogger.com
