The Good Society and How We Make It

A fairer, healthier, more caring and sustainable society is entirely within our grasp. This book shows us the way. How do we ensure that everyone has good health and is cared for when in need? How do we provide education that allows every child to flourish? How do we ensure safety, justice and a healthy environment now and for future generations? How can we finally solve the problems of poverty and inequality that drive all the others? Kate Pickett is one of the most renowned thinkers and leaders in social science. Her life’s work has been to identify the underlying causes behind society’s key challenges and how to solve them. In this book, she draws on the deepest insights and the strongest evidence produced by social science over the last three decades to present a roadmap for change.
