"A must for everyone interested in making the UK a fair, just and rewarding society... Gideon Calder asks difficult questions and offers thoughtful and thought-provoking ideas."?? Kate Pickett, University of York. "Reveals the role of families in reproducing inequalities and shows what's unjust about this - a brilliant critique of popular thinking about social mobility and meritocracy." Andrew Sayer, Lancaster University "Calder combines penetrative data-analysis with philosophical insights to myth-bust and shed much needed light on families, inequalities, and social mobility." Steve Smith, University of South Wales

In the UK, as in other rich countries, the `playing-field’ is anything but level and the family plays a surprisingly crucial part in maintaining inequality from one generation to the next. This book explores how seemingly mundane aspects of family life – from the right to inherit income, to the reading of bedtime stories – raise fundamental questions of social justice. Taking fairness seriously, it argues, means rethinking what equality of opportunity means.
