Andyet these commonly held beliefs are flatly contradicted by ourdaily experience, an abundance of research findings and, indeed, logic. Such bizarre discrepancy between hard facts and popularopinions makes one pause and ask: why are these opinions sowidespread and resistant to accumulated and fast-growing evidenceto the contrary?
This short book is by one of the world's leading socialthinkers is an attempt to answer this question. Bauman lists andscrutinizes the tacit assumptions and unreflected-upon convictionsupon which such opinions are grounded, finding them one by one tobe false, deceitful and misleading. Their persistence could behardly sustainable were it not for the role they play in defending- indeed, promoting and reinforcing - the current, unprecedented, indefensible and still accelerating growth in social inequality andthe rapidly widening gap between the elite of the rich and the restof society.
