"This fantastic collection provides a trenchant critique of contemporary society and outlines solutions to challenge the power games of those sowing the seeds of social injustice. A must read for anyone with a heart." Mark Doidge, University of Brighton "This is a profoundly important book. How might public sociology be conducted in bleak times and in the face of fragmented publics? The authors begin the necessary task of building a sociology of new possibilities. Recent events make this necessary reading" John Holmwood, University of Nottingham "We've been told we don't need experts but we need them more than ever. This rich collection of thought-provoking pieces about the importance of our social world can be a catalyst for debate and dialogue among all those committed to building a better world." Kate E Pickett, University of York "Enriches and enlivens, bringing detail to generalities and radical, exciting alternatives to exhausted narratives." Zoe Williams, the Guardian
What would it take to make society better? The book looks at what is needed to prevent the proliferation of harm and the gradual collapse of civil society. It argues that social scientists need to cast aside their commitment to the established order and its ideological support systems, look ahead at the likely outcomes of various interventions and move to the forefront of informed political debate.
