"The book blisters with research. . . This is a book that puts the
numbers to a psychological truth: inequality is the real enemy."
—Polly Toynbee, The Guardian

good society. Wilkinson’s book tells us, and shows us that our
social instincts have become a science." —Prospect
"A powerful and provocative piece of scholarship . . . presents a
challenge to us all to improve popular health by tackling economic
and social inequalities." —Lisa Berkman, Harvard School of
Public Health
