Featured in the Financial Times Best Books of the Year 2020The evidence is rigorously marshalled and the...solutions equally clearly illuminated. A definitive study. -Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator, The Financial TimesIn this vital new book, Britains first Professor of Social Mobility Lee Elliot Major and Stephen Machin, reveal the causes of the UK's low social mobility, explain why its getting worse, and outline how we reverse this worrying trend, before it's too late.It covers the history of social mobility in the UK, explores international comparisons, analyses the recent 'dark age' of declining absolute mobility, and investigates issues such as how family traits affect inter-generationalmobility.The authors then outline what it is we should do about this pressing issue. Calling for a fundamental shift in debates about social mobility and arguing that only by establishing general principles of fairness in society can we agree the major policy reforms that can make Britain a more mobile and just society for all.
