How Inequality Gets Inside Our Heads

from RSA Events Hosted by RSA

Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett follow up their seminal work The Spirit Level with new insights into how inequality impacts us as individuals. Arguing 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, The Inner Level sheds important new light into how we should organise the way we live together. This event was recorded live at The RSA on Tuesday 5th June 2018. Discover more about this event here: https://www.thersa.org/events/2018/06/how-inequality-gets-inside-our-heads
