The Spirit Level: Why greater equality makes societies stronger
Richard Wilkinson
Why is economic equality a good thing? Given the growing international Occupy movement, it's an important question many people are asking right now. In The Spirit Level: Why greater equality makes societies stronger, Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett collect years of research to show why the bigger the gap between rich and poor, the worse off we'll all be. From life expectancy and mental illness, to violence and illiteracy, almost all measures of wellbeing are affected by how unequal a society is. Ultimately, The Spirit Level provides a way forward and new solutions we can all use to build a sustainable future.
