The Inequality Epidemic: When Gaps Divide, Everyone Suffers
Imagine two societies with identical wealth. In one, the richest earn four times what the poorest earn. In the other, the gap is ninefold. Which society would you expect to have lower crime rates, better health, stronger communities, and happier citizens? "The Spirit Level" delivers a startling answer backed by decades of research: the more equal society wins on virtually every measure of wellbeing-not just for the poor, but for everyone. This revelation arrived just as the 2008 financial crisis exposed capitalism's hollow promises, offering a profound insight: our obsession with economic growth has blinded us to what truly matters for human flourishing. The book's cultural impact has been so profound that it spawned The Equality Trust, a non-profit dedicated to spreading its central message: greater equality benefits everyone, not just those at the bottom.
