The Spirit Level (book)

*The Spirit Level* is a book that examines how income inequality within countries affects social outcomes. Authors Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett present evidence showing that societies with greater income distribution tend to have better health, lower crime rates, higher trust, and more social cohesion. They argue that reducing inequality isn’t just fair, but also essential for societal well-being and stability. The book advocates for policies that promote more equal wealth distribution to improve overall quality of life and social harmony.
