The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everyone di Richard Wilkinson e Kate Pickett è il libro sulla società più influente e discusso dell'ultimo decennio, ora aggiornato con un nuovo capitolo sulla controversia che il libro ha scatenato. Perché ci fidiamo di più delle persone nel Regno Unito che in Giappone? Perché gli americani hanno tassi di gravidanza adolescenziale più alti dei francesi? Cosa rende gli svedesi più magri degli australiani? La risposta: la disuguaglianza. Questo libro rivoluzionario, basato su anni di ricerca, fornisce prove concrete per dimostrare: Come quasi tutto, dall'aspettativa di vita alle malattie mentali, dalla violenza all'analfabetismo, non è influenzato da quanto è ricca una società, ma da quanto è equa Che le società con un divario maggiore tra ricchi e poveri sono negative per tutti, compresi i benestanti Come possiamo trovare soluzioni positive e muoverci verso un futuro più felice e giusto Urgente, provocatorio e genuinamente edificante, The Spirit Level è stato annunciato come un libro che fornisce un nuovo modo di pensare a noi stessi e alle nostre comunità e potrebbe cambiare il modo in cui vedi il mondo. ''Una grande idea, abbastanza grande da cambiare il pensiero politico'' - Guardian ''Un nuovo libro straordinario. Le implicazioni sono profonde'' - Will Hutton, Observer ''Le prove sono difficili da contestare'' - Economista Richard Wilkinson ha studiato storia economica alla London School of Economics prima di specializzarsi in epidemiologia ed è professore emerito alla University of Nottingham Medical School e professore onorario all'University College di Londra. Kate Pickett è professoressa di epidemiologia all'University of York e scienziata di carriera del National Institute for Health Research. Il suo lavoro con Richard Wilkinson su The Spirit Level è stato selezionato per il premio Research Project of the Year 2009 dal Times Higher Education Supplement e il loro libro è stato scelto come uno dei primi dieci libri del decennio dal New Statesman.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett's The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everyone is the most influential and talked-about book on society in the last decade - now updated with a new chapter on the controversy the book has ignited. Why do we mistrust people more in the UK than in Japan? Why do Americans have higher rates of teenage pregnancy than the French? What makes the Swedish thinner than the Australians? The answer: 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. 'A big idea, big enough to change political thinking' - Guardian 'A remarkable new book . the implications are profound' - Will Hutton, Observer 'The evidence is hard to dispute' - Economist Richard Wilkinson studied economic history at the London School of Economics before training in epidemiology and is Professor Emeritus at the University of Nottingham Medical School and Honorary Professor at University College London. Kate Pickett is a Professor of Epidemiology at the University of York and a National Institute for Health Research Career Scientist. Her work with Richard Wilkinson on The Spirit Level was shortlisted for Research Project of the Year 2009 by the Times Higher Education Supplement, and their book was chosen as one of the Top Ten Books of the Decade by the New Statesman.
