The inner level : how more equal societies reduce stress, restore sanity and improve everyone's well-being /
Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett.
- xxv, 324 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 23 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Based on an equally impressive range of data and analysis, 'The Inner Level' now shows the impact inequality has on individuals: how it affects us psychologically, makes social relations more stressful, undermines self-confidence and distorts natural differences in personal abilities. It demonstrates that societies based on fundamental equalities, sharing and reciprocity produce much higher levels of wellbeing than those based on excessive individualism, competitiveness and social aggression.
