In this book, pioneering social epidemiologist Richard Wilkinson,
shows how inequality affects social relations and well-being. In
wealthy countries, health is not simply a matter of material
circumstances and access to health care; it is also how your
relationships and social standing make you feel about life. Using
detailed evidence from rich market democracies, the book addresses
people's experience of inequality and presents a radical theory of
the psychosocial impact of class stratification. The book
demonstrates how poor health, high rates of violence and low levels
of social capital all reflect the stresses of inequality and
explains the pervasive sense that, despite material success, our
societies are sometimes social failures. What emerges is a new
conception of what it means to say that we are social beings and of
how the social structure penetrates our personal lives and
relationships.
