David Fee is Professor of British Studies at the University of
Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3, France. He specialises in the study and
analysis of housing and urban policies in the UK and France. He is
the author of many articles and chapters and a book on housing
policies, housing and the British welfare state as well as the
changing governance of housing in the UK.
Anémone Kober-Smith is Professor of British Studies at the
University of Paris 13, France. Her research interests are in the
fields of health and healthcare policies, the welfare state, the
governance of public services and gendered work policies in the UK
(and France). She is the author of many publications, including a
book published in France in 2010 on the implementation and impact
of managerial reforms in the NHS since the 1980s.
Drawing on data from the Great British Class Survey and other
sources, contributors in urban studies, geography, social policy,
British studies, economic research, and sociology use both
quantitative and qualitative methods to assess economic
inequalities in the UK during the period 2008-2017. The situation
in the UK is also compared with the EU as a whole. The book reveals
regional differences in economic inequalities in the UK and in how
the government has dealt with problems in health, housing,
education, and immigration. The book concludes with discussion of
the impact of the ‘inequality agenda’ on political debates and
public policies. B&w maps, charts, and images are included.
