This book explores how seemingly mundane aspects of family life - from the right to inherit income, to the reading of bedtime stories - raise fundamental questions of social justice. Taking fairness seriously, it argues, means rethinking what equality of opportunity means.
Reviews / Votes
"Thought provoking for academics, students, and any members of the public who happen to pick this book up. Placing the family at the centre of analysis allows Calder to create a refreshing and accessible insight into social mobility debates. Assessing key theories of social justice, equality, and social mobility, he is able to make clear the complex web of considerations and contradictions that rest at the heart of inequality debates in contemporary Western societies." Social Policy & Administration "A must for everyone interested in making the UK a fair, just and rewarding society... Gideon Calder asks difficult questions and offers thoughtful and thought-provoking ideas."?? Kate Pickett, University of York. "Calder is to be congratulated on producing a book that merits wide reading, not only by social science/social policy students...it makes a valuable contribution to the canon." - People, Place and Policy "Reveals the role of families in reproducing inequalities and shows what's unjust about this - a brilliant critique of popular thinking about social mobility and meritocracy." Andrew Sayer, Lancaster University "Calder combines penetrative data-analysis with philosophical insights to myth-bust and shed much needed light on families, inequalities, and social mobility."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
