The time will come when \u003ci\u003eThe Equality Effect \u003c\/i\u003e will be as readily accepted as women voting or former colonies gaining independence—and it will come very soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom one of the world's top social scientists comes a compelling argument for public policy to prioritize equality, fully-evidenced with statistics and sprinkled with black and white illustrations. Most importantly, he demonstrates where greater equality is currently to be found, and how we can set \u003ci\u003eThe Equality Effect \u003c\/i\u003e in motion everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eDanny Dorling \u003c\/b\u003e is a social geographer and the Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford.
