Die herrschende Wirtschaftskrise ist auch eine Krise der herrschenden Wirtschaftslehre. Diese hat durch Jahre hindurch „den freien Markt“ propagiert und mitgeholfen, eine wirksame Regulierung der Kapital- und Geldmärkte zu verhindern.

"Despite the rediscovery of the inequality topic by economists as well as other social scientists in recent times, relatively little is known about how economic inequality is mediated to the wider public of ordinary citizens and workers. That is precisely where this book steps in: It draws on a cross-national empirical study to examine how mainstream news media discuss, respond to, and engage with such important and politically sensitive issues and trends.
