About this product
Product Information
Why do we mistrust people more in the UK than in Japan? Why do Americans have higher rates of teenage pregnancy than the French? The answer: inequality. This book 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.

Such an interesting book. Sure to be debated for ages..
As someone whom has Chaired an Equality Forum at local Council level and will be working with a Fairness Commission the book will come in very handy.. It goes very deep and if the ideas are put into practice in even a small way . to improve even one persons life, it will be well worth reading.
