"Why in the early 1970s does The Times reject the idea of a national lottery, as rewarding luck rather thab merit and effort, but warmly welcomes one by the 1990s? Why in the 1970s do the Daily Mail's TV reviews address serious contemporary themes such as class and race relations, whereas forty years later the reviews are largely concerned with celebrities, talent shows, and nostalgia? Why does the Conservative Chancellor in the 2010s mention 'Britain' so very often, whereas the Conservative one in the 1970s scarcely did so at all? Covering news stories spanning fort-five years, Michael Toolan explores how wealth inequality has been presented in centre-right British newspapers, focusing on the way that changes in the representation may have helped present-day inequality seem justifiable. Toolan employs corpus linguistic and Critical Discourse Analytic methods to identify changing lexis and verbal patterns and gaps, all of which contribute to the way wealth inequality has been represented in each of the decades from the 1970s to the present."--Provied by publisher.
