The Spirit Level: Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger
A compelling exploration of the relationship between inequality and social well-being
In his groundbreaking book, The Spirit Level, Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett present a wealth of evidence demonstrating that more equal societies are happier, healthier, and more prosperous than their more unequal counterparts.
