Expulsions

In "Expulsions," renowned sociologist Saskia Sassen delves into the pressing issues of our time, examining the complex dynamics of income inequality, displacement, and environmental degradation. Published by Harvard University Press in 2014, this thought-provoking hardback spans 304 pages and challenges conventional notions of poverty and injustice. Sassen posits that today’s societal dislocations are not merely economic failures but rather expulsions from essential resources—be it professional livelihoods, living spaces, or the very biosphere that sustains life. This insightful analysis invites readers to rethink the socio-economic landscape and understand the deeper implications of these modern expulsions. A must-read for anyone interested in social justice, economics, and environmental issues, "Expulsions" provides a compelling framework for understanding the interconnected challenges we face today.
