Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a book with a big idea, big enough to change political thinking." - John Carey, Sunday Times (UK)

"Might be the most important book of the year." -
John Crace, Guardian

"Anyone who believes that what society is the result of what we do, rather than who we are, should read The Spirit Level because of its inarguable battery of evidence, and because its conclusion is simple: we do better when we're equal." -
Lynsey Hanley, Guardian

"The importance of the Spirit Level is that it provides a vital part of the intellectual manifesto on which the battle for a better society can be fought." -
Roy Hattersley, The New Statesman

"An eloquent case that the income gap between a nation's richest and poorest is the most powerful indicator of a functioning and healthy society" -
Publishers Weekly
