Abstract

Ongelijkheid wordt op allerlei terreinen nogal eens als probleem ervaren, maar hoe terecht is dat? En hoe kijken liberalen vanuit hun gedachtegoed tegen ongelijkheid aan? In de kern van het liberalisme zijn de waarden van keuzemogelijkheden (vrijheid) en het vermogen deze mogelijkheden daadwerkelijk te benutten (autonomie) onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden. Gelijkheid is daarbij van belang voor zover het verwijst naar het fundamentele uitgangspunt dat de vrijheid en autonomie van iedereen van belang is en niet alleen van bepaalde groepen burgers. In dit boek onderzoeken verschillende auteurs de mate van ongelijkheid op deelterreinen als inkomen en vermogen, gezondheidszorg, onderwijs, generaties, groepsidentiteit, sekseverschillen en toegang tot politieke macht. Daarnaast is er aandacht voor verschillen tussen stad en land, binnen Europa en op wereldschaal. De verschillende studies van ongelijkheid tonen een fascinerend palet aan liberale kleuren met uiteenlopende probleemanalyses en oplossingen. Daarnaast illustreren ze ook consensus over de noodzaak van een genuanceerd oordeel: niet elke ongelijkheid is een probleem en niet elke gelijkheid is een zegen.

Abstract

Migration, Equality and Racism trigger ever more salient societal debates. More than 80 VUB academics and co-authors joined forces for this book. Philosophers, lawyers, psychologists, health scientists, sociologists, geographers, criminologists, communication and political scientists ... look at migration, equality and racism from different disciplinary angles. Together they aim to contribute to an exercise of humanism as a praxis of criticism or a 'technique of trouble-making', in the words of Edward Said. Through 44 thought-provoking and informed opinion pieces, they question widespread beliefs on migration, equality and racism and propose solutions that might disturb. Let this book be a source of inspiration for those who want to spark an informed debate on the ever more salient issues of migration, equality and racism, for those who want to learn more on how and why humanism has often remained an empty box for migrants and racialized groups. Or for those who are in search of inspiration for a just future for all. Migration, Equality and Racism is the work of Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) think tank POINcaré and was created under the direction of Ilke Adam, Tundé Adefioye, Serena D'Agostino, Nick Schuermans and Florian Trauner.

Abstract

"This book begins with the incomes of the first trillion-dollar company Apple and ends with the advent of Trump and Brexit. Apple symbolises the arrival of the mega-company and, along with that technology, has come the super-incomes of the plutocrats. In this book we examine the source of those plutocratic incomes and why they have grown so rapidly, generating the anger of those left-behind whose incomes have grown so much less, if at all. The book seeks to provide an explanation of how a world has emerged with such incomes co-existing with dire poverty. It does this by using a lot of data so the reader can see where those with the highest incomes - in the hundreds of millions of dollars - have emerged and where those with incomes of a few thousands just survive. It is a story charting the changing geography of absolute poverty and of the changing position of the unskilled in now-rich countries"--
