- "In the past twenty years, social injustice has increased enormously in Britain and the United States, regardless of the party in power. At the same time, the idea of social justice itself has been subverted, as the mantras of 'personal responsibility' and 'equal opportunity' have been employed as an excuse for doing nothing about the enrichment of the few at the expense of the many and for making ever harsher demands on the poor and vulnerable. Brian Barry exposes the shoddy logic and distortion of reality that underpins this ideology."
