520    "The term 'collateral damage' has recently been added to 
       the vocabulary of military forces to refer to the 
       unintended consequences of armed interventions, 
       consequences that are unplanned but nevertheless damaging 
       and often very costly in human and personal terms. But 
       collateral damage is not unique to the world of armed 
       intervention - it is also one of the most salient and 
       striking dimensions of contemporary social inequality. The
       inflammable mixture of growing social inequality and the 
       rising volume of human suffering marginalized as 
       'collateral' is becoming one of the most cataclysmic 
       problems of our time.  For the political class, poverty is
       commonly seen as a problem of law and order - a matter of 
       how to deal with individuals, such as unemployed youths, 
       who fall foul of the law. But treating poverty as a 
       criminal problem obscures the social roots of inequality, 
       which lie in the combination of a consumerist life 
       philosophy propagated and instilled by a consumer-oriented
       economy, on the one hand, and the rapid shrinking of life 
       chances available to the poor, on the other. In our 
       contemporary, liquid-modern world, the poor are the 
       collateral damage of a profit-driven, consumer-oriented 
       society - 'aliens inside' who are deprived of the rights 
       enjoyed by other members of the social order.  In this new
       book Zygmunt Bauman - one of the most original and 
       influential social thinkers of our time - examines the 
       selective affinity between the growth of social inequality
       and the rise in the volume of 'collateral damage' and 
       considers its implications and its costs"--Publisher
