Mit der Laudatio von Monika Krause zur Verleihung des Siegfried-Landshut-Preises Immer mehr Vermögen liegt in immer weniger Händen. Oder anders gesagt: Die Reichen haben sich vom Rest der Gesellschaft entfernt, und die Superreichen haben sich von den Reichen entfernt. Die enorme Vermögensungleichheit bringt uns zurück in die Vergangenheit. Sie lässt, so der renommierte Soziologe Mike Savage, Zustände aufleben, von denen wir dachten, wir hätten sie überwunden: dynastischen Elitismus, Klientelismus und vererbte Privilegien. Die ökonomische Ungleichheit verschärft so auch kulturelle, soziale und politische Konflikte. Und diese Entwicklungen untergraben letztlich die Grundlagen liberaler Demokratien: den Glauben an Fortschritt für alle und das Vertrauen in die Fürsorge der politischen Gemeinschaft für ihre Mitglieder. Die Rückkehr der Ungleichheit ist eine bahnbrechende Studie, die durch ihre theoretische Breite und ihre historische Herangehensweise einen entscheidenden Beitrag zum Verständnis der Auswirkungen wachsender Ungleichheit leistet. Darüber hinaus entwickelt Mike Savage in seinem hochaktuellen Buch Vorschläge, wie wir den Herausforderungen begegnen können: analytisch streng, aber leidenschaftlich argumentierend.

From bestselling author of Stop the Coming Civil War comes a new book about rebuilding a stronger America and saving the American Dream
A fresh take on social class from the experts behind the BBC's 'Great British Class Survey'. Why does social class matter more than ever in Britain today? How has the meaning of class changed? What does this mean for social mobility and inequality? In this book Mike Savage and the team of sociologists responsible for the Great British Class Survey look beyond the labels to explore how and why our society is changing and what this means for the people who find themselves in the margins as well as in the centre. Their new conceptualization of class is based on the distribution of three kinds of capital - economic (inequalities in income and wealth), social (the different kinds of people we know) and cultural (the ways in which our leisure and cultural preferences are exclusive) - and provides incontrovertible evidence that class is as powerful and relevant today as it's ever been.
