Susan Sontag highlights that compassion must be translated into action or it will wither, indicating that societal inaction on inequality is a critical issue in contemporary Britain.
Danny Dorling's book explores how inequality has shaped the lives of children born into different socio-economic backgrounds in the UK, illustrating the harsh realities faced by the bottom income quintile.
Dorling asserts we are living in a 'poor little rich country' where economic inequality has led to poor living conditions for many, especially children.
The staggering concentration of poverty among children in the UK reflects a choice society has made, as evidenced through the stories of children living in austerity.
