NEW BOOK

 The Impact of Inequality by Richard Wilkinson

New Press, N.Y. January 2005 - ISBN 1-56584-925-6

Routledge, London.

 “Richard Wilkinson’s pathbreaking work challenged everyone interested in
socioeconomic conditions and health to rethink in a most constructive way.
This new book, a wonderful work of synthesis, brings insight into how
conditions of society impact on people’s daily lives to cause health and
disease. Emphasizing the links between equality, cooperation, and personal
control, he shows how conditions of society have profound biological
effects. It is a stimulating and exciting book.”

—Sir Michael Marmot, author of The Status Syndrome

 “Wilkinson’s work is a powerful and provocative piece of scholarship. The
Impact of Inequality presents a challenge to us all to improve population
health by tackling economic and social inequalities.”

—Lisa Berkman, Thomas D. Cabot Professor of Public Policy, Harvard School
of Public Health

 “In the affluent world, countless millions of people are obsessed with
what they can do to be healthy. Richard Wilkinson is rightly obsessed with
what nations, communities and employers can do to create a healthy social
environment. In this brave and well-reasoned book, he combs through the
health evidence for clues to the kinds of economic structures and human
relationships that are best for us in every sense.”

—Jim Lardner, director and founder of Inequality.org
