The 1920s have returned with a roar. Wage inequality in the west is at its highest point since the Great Depression, and another global recession looms before many communities have even recovered from the last. What does it mean for those still struggling to thrive - or even just to survive? How do we criticise our own circumstances when it seems like someone else is always worse off? And what causes day-to-day struggles that define the inequality in our lives? The answers are not so straightforward, but the pulse of the present moment can be found in its stories.
