Title : The Spirit Level: Why equality is better for everyone Material Type: printed text Authors: Kate Pickett, Author ; Richard Wilkinson, Author Publisher: Penguin Publishing Group ISBN (or other code): POL PIC 2009 Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Why do we mistrust people more in the UK than the Japanese do? Why do Americans have higher rates of teenage pregnancy that the French? What makes the Swedish thinner that the Australians? The answer in each case: inequality.
This groundbreaking book, based on years of research, provides hard evidence to show:
How almost everything - from life expectancy to mental illness. violence to illiteracy - is affected not by how wealthy a society is, but how equal it is
That societies with a bigger gap between rich and poor are bad for everyone in them - including the well-off
How we can find positive solutions and move towards a happier, fairer future
Urgent, provocative and genuinely uplifting, The Spirit Level has been heralded as providing a new way of thinking about ourselves and our communities, and could change the way you see the world.The Spirit Level: Why equality is better for everyone [printed text] / Kate Pickett, Author ; Richard Wilkinson, Author . - [S.l.] : Penguin Publishing Group, [s.d.].
