Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett on the Relation between Well-Being and Inequality

= Some nations' populations do better than others. They are, on average, healthier, and they live happier lives. Why is this? Is it because some countries are richer, or because their residents have higher living standards? In a new book, Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, authors of the book The Spirit Level show that higher levels of health and social problems occur in societies with greater income inequality.
