Description
The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everyone In this groundbreaking book, Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett present hard evidence that challenges conventional wisdom on the relationship between wealth and well-being. Their research reveals that societies with a significant gap between rich and poor are detrimental to the health and happiness of all their citizens. The authors argue that inequality has far-reaching consequences, affecting not only the poor but also the wealthy, and that a more equal society is essential for creating a happier and fairer world. With a new chapter addressing the controversy surrounding their work, this updated edition provides a compelling case for a more equitable society. With its urgent and provocative message, The Spirit Level has been hailed as a game-changer in the way we think about ourselves and our communities.
