Looking for answers as to why some societies have better health outcomes than others? Look no further than "Unhealthy Societies" - a groundbreaking book that unveils the surprising relationship between income inequality and health. Contrary to popular belief, it's not the richest societies that boast the best health, but those that have fewer income differences between the rich and the poor.
So why do smaller income differences lead to longer life expectancy? "Unhealthy Societies" provides a compelling explanation backed by evidence from the USA, Britain, Japan, and Eastern Europe. It reveals the undeniable connection between social cohesion and health in egalitarian societies. These healthy societies have stronger community bonds and experience fewer negative effects of inequality, such as increased rates of crime and weakened social fabric.
But it doesn't end there - the book also sheds light on the imbalance between material success and social failure prevalent in modern societies. It highlights the urgent need for a larger measure of social and distributive justice to meet important social needs. If you're a health psychologist, sociologist, welfare economist, social policy analyst, or simply someone concerned about the future of developed societies, "Unhealthy Societies" is a must-read.
Ready to explore the fascinating link between health and equality? Take a step towards understanding the importance of social cohesion in creating thriving communities.
