Abstract

In The End of Aspiration?, Duncan Exley reflects on the current social mobility crisis facing the UK and the ways that this can be addressed across government, business and the third sector. The book offers an accessible reality check of the state of social mobility in the UK, writes Ross Goldstone, and is a fruitful addition to the rapidly developing literature problematising intensifying social and economic inequality in the UK.
