摘要

In many countries around the world, the gap between rich and poor has increased during the twenty-first century. Not surprisingly, discussion of both the relationship of the top 1% to the rest of society (Stiglitz, 2011) and the growing misery of the bottom 1% (e.g. Weissman & Dickson, 2012) has also intensified in both public and academic forums. It is hard to open a newspaper without reading of another circumstance that reveals that the rich are unbearably rich, the middle class are under pressure and the poor are losing another element of their support system. Recent election campaigns in Canada, Finland, Guyana, Greece, Singapore, the US and the UK have remarkable similarity in the themes expressed by the electorates regarding related issues: wealth is not being shared, the next generation is struggling to find decent jobs, wages paid to many do not meet the threshold of 'living wages', difficulties finding good work are turning into dangerous resentments between native-born and foreign-bom, education has become more extended and more expensive, austerity measures are hurting ordinary people and the social fabric, the ratios between the working populations and the non-working populations are shrinking in such a manner that produces onerous consequences for both. These themes reverberate at academic conferences that encourage academics to tie their research to important issues - 'Hard Times, The Impact of Economic Inequality on Families and Individuals', 'Recovering the Social: Personal Troubles as Public Issues' and the 'The Futures We Want: Global Sociology and the Struggles for a Better World' are just a few examples.1 Indeed, Holmwood's observation that the study of social inequality has become too narrow and specialised and that sociologists have been insufficiently active in interpreting current events (Holmwood, 2014) seems to be in the process of changing. The case for information about social inequality based on high-quality analysis and data is consistently made (Fukuyama in Fukuyama and Diamond, 2012; Wilkinson & Pickett, 2009). With respect to the issue of understanding social inequality better, public concerns and the focus of academic research align.
