How can we make sense of a world where we have both too many billionaires and too many foodbanks? We're supposed to go to university, forge a career, get wealthier, buy a house - but why is that so hard for most of us to achieve?

Split makes sense of our world by looking at class society - delving into the deep-rooted economic inequalities that shape our lives.

Clearly-argued, incisive and accessible, this book should be required reading for activists everywhere'

-- Grace Blakeley, author of 'Stolen: How to Save the World from Financialisation'
