Diverse Perspectives and Issues on Inequality

Inequalities are pervasive and identifying feature of modern industrial societies; yet they are not always explicitly and easily observable without exploratory and explanatory power of social sciences involving, but not limited to, philosophy, sociology, economics, political science, social policy and ethnography. Moreover, diverse characteristics of inequalities inevitably require us to develop comprehensive and varied perspectives so long as the purpose is to overcome their undesirable consequences. Thus, both understanding and coping with such unjust characteristic of modern industrial societies eventually invoke different branches of social sciences. In this regard, this book aims to broaden our intellectual horizon and raise awareness on various forms of inequalities which have always been a central and burning issue of scholars in social sciences. Different scholars from varied branches of social sciences have come together to achieve such a purpose in this book and keenly attempted to provide comprehensive as well as diverse evaluative perspectives on distinct forms of inequalities. Diverse Perspectives and Issues on Inequality is presented to readers who aspire to gain multi-dimensional and insightful views on varied forms of inequalities that are not swept away without a serious and ongoing public discussion.
