Heidi Mirza, Emeritus Professor, UCL Institute of Education
 
'With inequality now at the forefront of political debate, this outstanding book provides a clear, comprehensive and nuanced overview of what is known about the extent and nature of inequalities on key dimensions and the linkages across them.'
