Description
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, Why We Disagree about Inequality, 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 illustrate 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 today’s 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.

Praised by scholars from Harvard and Stanford, this book offers a bold and elegant analysis of America's cultural divisions on inequality. Jennifer Hochschild commends its simple yet powerful framework that helps improve communication and engagement across divides, while David B. Grusky highlights its coherent organisation around two fundamental worldviews as a significant contribution to understanding today's 'inequality wars.'
