Description
The Broken Ladder: How Inequality Changes the Way We Think, Live and Die by Keith Payne Rising inequality has far-reaching consequences that extend beyond economic disparities. It affects our mental health, decision-making, and even our immune systems. This thought-provoking book explores how inequality shapes our world and influences our thinking, performance at work, and response to stress. Groundbreaking research in psychology and neuroscience reveals the insidious effects of inequality on our lives. Payne offers a compelling analysis of the psychological reality of feeling poor, an often overlooked aspect in economic thinking on poverty. By shedding light on this critical issue, he provides a timely and important contribution to our understanding of social cohesion and long-term prosperity. A persuasive and highly readable account, The Broken Ladder is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complex relationships between inequality, mental health, and well-being.
