Review of 'The Impact of Inequality' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

Not at all a bad read. Written in an engaging style and with a substantial amount of research, it is eye opening, and certainly made me question how best we can tackle inequality. While I certainly don't agree with it all, I am glad that even the solutions that are suggested in his conclusion are not simply about greater government power to force through heavy handed policies which are often resented, but instead suggests ways in which we can encourage certain business practices and organisation which can make a huge difference to equality and health. Worth a read whatever your political views.
