Show notes

In 2009 Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett wrote their best-selling book, "The Spirit Level" which showed how economic inequality spawned extensive social suffering. Recently those authors revisited the United States 15 years later, and every aspect of the social problems referenced in their work has increased with the increase of inequality. They elide capitalism's leading role in delivering misery. I do not evade it. Learn more about CHH: We make it a point to provide the show free of ads.
