"The Inequality of Wealth" by Liam Byrne is an insightful and timely examination of one of the most pressing issues facing societies today: the growing gap between the rich and the poor. Byrne, a knowledgeable political figure and writer, delves deep into the economic, social, and political factors that contribute to this disparity, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of how wealth inequality has reached unprecedented levels.

Byrne’s writing is clear and accessible, making complex economic concepts understandable for a wide audience. He draws on historical data, case studies, and real-world examples to illustrate the profound impact of wealth inequality on individuals and communities. The book not only highlights the dangers of this growing divide but also suggests potential solutions and reforms that could lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth.

"The Inequality of Wealth" is a compelling read for anyone interested in economics, social justice, and public policy. It’s a crucial text for understanding the dynamics of modern capitalism and the urgent need for change in how wealth is accumulated and distributed.

This book translates the anti-billionaire discourse, which often go right over people's heads, into real world problems. The insights onto the world of the rich as well as the poor was a really great eye-opening contrast to read following the other. It will help you to understand why some appear to have an issue with excess wealth, in an age where avid social media users seem to not comprehend what the issue is of "some just have money", Liam seems to show them with real world and easy to grasp scenarios. Most political books seem to be too hypothetical with solutions, Liam instead provided solutions as policies which was so realistic, it was refreshing to see.
It is also very well written! Makes it very easy to binge read and is a great counter read to Theresa May's The Abuse of Power.
