Beware False Prophets is Policy Exchange's critique of The Spirit Level, a 
book published last year by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, which 
argued that income inequality harms almost everybody in society, no matter 
how prosperous they are.

In Beware False Prophets Wilkinson and Pickett's empirical claims are 
critically re-examined using (a) their own data on 23 countries, (b) more 
up-to-date statistics on a larger sample of 44 countries, and (c) data on 
the US states. Very few of their empirical claims survive intact.
