Ben Phillips has spent a lifetime fighting injustice and his new book ‘How to fight inequality and why that fight needs you’ crystallises many of the lessons he’s learned. Ann Pettifor, author of The Case for the Green New Deal, said “Inequality would not be a major issue around the world without the work of Ben Phillips...this powerful book empowers readers with the data, information, arguments and advice they need to help bring an end to this crisis.”
