Why Equality Fails: T.H. Marshall's Shocking Theory on Citizenship & Class
Think citizenship guarantees equality? Think again. In this breakdown of the classic book *Citizenship and Social Class* by T.H. Marshall and Anthony Giddens, we reveal the explosive contradiction at the heart of modern society: citizenship promises equal rights, but class ensures inequality. Marshall shows how civil, political, and social rights evolved over time, yet each step created new tensions with the market economy. Giddens and others then critique and expand this theory, asking if true equality is even possible. By the end, you'll understand why your 'equal' rights don't make you equal—and what that means for your wallet and your future. No academic jargon, just hard truths.
