Seven Children — inequality and Britain's next generation
by Danny Dorling
Hurst £14.99

 

THIS book takes a novel approach to examining how one in three children live in poverty in the sixth-richest country in the world. That country is the UK.

Building on his previous book, Shattered Nation, Dorling drills down to see how seven strata of British children are affected by the poverty and inequality so rampant here.
