This postcard by Sakiko Fukuda-Parr features in the World Social Science Report 2016. Fukuda-Parr highlights the importance of social attitudes to inequality, arguing that unless inequality itself is seen as a problem, and equality is held as a social value by politicians, activists and the public at large, there will be no agitation or support for corrective measures.
