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.

This pioneering work transcends economic discussions to illustrate how rising inequality is reverting societies to a past characterized by empires, dynastic elites, and ethnic divisions. The stark reality is that wealth is increasingly concentrated, with the super-rich distancing themselves from the affluent. While mainstream economists downplay concerns about distribution in favor of growth, the author, acclaimed sociologist Mike Savage, argues that inequality has severe negative impacts on societal structures. He demonstrates how economic disparity exacerbates cultural, social, and political tensions, undermining the integrity of liberal democratic nation-states. This severe inequality fractures social bonds and aligns democratic processes with the interests of a resurgent aristocracy, reviving political conditions reminiscent of historical empires and elite dominance. Inequality threatens to drag us back to a history we believed we had left behind since the Age of Revolution. Savage emphasizes that Western societies have been slow to recognize how inequality erodes the foundations of liberal democracy, including trust in the political community's commitment to all members. By engaging with the theories of thinkers like Marx, Bourdieu, and Piketty, he reveals how inequality reintroduces the burdens of the past. This work is both analytically rigorous and passionately argued, making it a crucial contribution to contemporary p
The book critiques President Obama's policies, labeling them as socialist and reminiscent of Lenin's tactics. It tackles pressing issues such as the global warming debate, healthcare challenges, and the rise of the Tea Party movement. Aimed at conservatives, it serves as a manifesto for those who resonate with prominent conservative voices like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, urging readers to take action to prevent economic disaster in America.
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.
