description | The Moral Sentiment in Britain and the United States is changing. There is no longer a such a willingness to accepted high and often rising levels of economic inequality. Coupled with this is a growing refusal to accept what now appear to be arguments in support of high inequality. The ‘new urban crisis’ is a book whose time has passed, a book which contains arguments for some people being very creative and others not which are now widely greeted with distain. We are very possibly at a tipping point and economically inequality in countries worldwide may be beginning again to fall. The last such tipping point occurred in 1913 as the Titanic sank. It was most likely greatly aided, if not partly caused, by the First World War. If the moral sentiment is changing now with widespread war that is even more reason to hope for a better future. |
