A fairer healthier more caring and sustainable society is entirely within our grasp. The
renowned co-author of The Spirit Level shows us the way. 'Just what these times are crying
out for' KATE RAWORTH author of Doughnut Economics 'Poverty and inequality are at the heart
of all our problems. Kate Pickett's book shows how tackling them must be at the heart of our
solutions too' ZACK POLANSKI 'An uplifting vision for solving inequality that benefits
everyone' ANDY BURNHAM ¿ How do we ensure that everyone has good health and receives the
care they need? ¿ How do we provide education that allows every child to flourish? ¿ How do we
ensure safety justice and a sustainable environment for all? Kate Pickett is a world-leading
social scientist whose life's work has been to identify the underlying causes of society's most
important problems - and the long-term solutions that will actually work. In this inspiring
book she shows that to make a good society - in which everyone has what they need to be well
and everyone would be better off - we must prioritise the health care education and
rehabilitation of those who have the least and suffer the most. This means confronting once and
for all the fundamental problems of poverty and inequality that lie behind all the others.
Drawing on over three decades of evidence and an array of proven solutions and real-world
success stories from across the globe The Good Society cuts to the essence of the challenges
we face and presents us with a practical galvanising perspective-shifting vision for how to
tackle them.
