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.

On this week's Economic Update, Professor Richard Wolff discusses Kate Pickett's and Richard Wilkinson's best-selling study in the book "The Spirit Level" (2009), showing how economic inequality correlates with most of the major social problems of our time.  We will juxtapose their latest paper "The Spirit Level at 15: The Enduring Impact of Inequality" Which details how economic inequality has only gotten worse since the past fifteen years, despite government laws and programs aimed to "reduce" inequality.  Wilkinson and Pickett show how inequality leads to severe social ills, divisions, and disintegration. What we need is to face that it is capitalism that generates the inequality that generates the hostilities and social tensions intruding upon and damaging our lives."

Ondertitel: Why greater Equality Makes Society Stronger, een van de boeken van Richard Wilkinson en Kate Pickett. Een interessant boek dat voor mij een bevestiging was dat ik aan de juiste missie werk, sociale en ecologische ongelijkheid terugdringen. Daarnaast geeft het boek een idee hoe ik hiermee verder kan, zeker richting ondernemers. Wat ik niet had gezien is de grote impact van sociale ongelijkheid en hoeveel problemen zouden oplossen als we dit verbeteren. Het boek bestaat uit 3 delen: Material success, social failure The cost of inequality A better Society Material success, social failure The End of an era Met grafieken en onderzoeken laten ze zien dat boven een bepaald punt het welzijn niet verder groeit als de welvaart wel verder groeit. Voor het eerst in de geschiedenis zijn de armen dikker dan de rijken. Poverty or inequality? Het grootste probleem is niet zo zeer het verschil in rijkdom tussen de landen, maar veel meer het verschil in een land. Wil je de sociale omgeving en de kwaliteit van leven voor iedereen verbeteren, dan moet je de ongelijkheid verminderen. How inequality gets under the skin angst, stress en ongeluk neemt toe in de rijke landen. De overgang van een hechte gemeenschap naar een massa maatschappij.  The cost of inequality Community life and social relations Mental health and drug use Physical health and life expectancy Obesity: wider income gaps, wider waists Educational performance Teenage births: recycling deprivation Violance: gaining respect Imprisonment and punishment Social mobility: unequal opportunities A better Society Dysfunctional societies Our social inheritance Equality and sustainability Een meer gelijke gemeenschap helpt ons in samenwerken aan de grote transities die op ons afkomen. Building the future Het interessante hoofdstuk over hoe we een betere toekomst bouwen. Het belangrijks is dat we medewerkers eigenaar maken van het bedrijf en medezeggenschap geven. Door deze contructie zal er veel minder ongelijkheid in inkomen ontstaan, bij de verkopo van het bedrijf profiteer iedereen. Interessant inzicht is dat wanneer je een bedrijf tegenwoordig verkopt het vooral gaat over de mensen die er werken. Je handelt dus in mensen. Vanaf p 252 vind je alternatieven voor groote corporaties die de problemen veroorzaken. Ideen om te laten zien dat het mogeljik is. Op p 260 zes voordelen van meer gelijke gemeenschap en medewerkers eigenaarschap. Het is een interessant boek, en gaf me nieuwe inzichten en connecties met ongelijkheid die ik nog niet kende. Het boek leest niet makkelijk weg, maar heeft veel verwijzingen voor verdieping. Kijk vooral de TED talk van Wilkinson voor een eerste indruk. Opvallende lessen uit het boek voor mij: Voor het eerst in de geschiedenis zijn de armen dikker dan de rijken. Het grootste probleem zijn de verschillen in rijkdom binnen een land. Wil je de sociale omgeving en de kwaliteit van iedereen verbeteren, dan moet je de ongelijkheid verminderen. Hoe groter de ongelijkheid is, hoe meer de mensen de vraag stellen 'ligt het aan mij, dat ik niet succesvol ben?' In landen waar meer gelijkheid is daar hebben mensen meer het gevoel dat ze anderen kunnen vertrouwen. Portugal lijkt een negatieve uitschieter in vergelijking met Spanje en Italië. We kunnen aan allerlei symptomen werken, zoals gratis ontbijt op school, maar het is beter voor iedereen om te werken aan de oorzaak en dat is ongelijkheid terugdringen. Dit is goed voor arm én rijk. Als je vandaag als eigenaar je bedrijf verkoopt, dan verkoop je vooral de mensen die er werken, een soort moderne slavenhandel. We moeten niet naar meer corporates, maar naar meer coöperaties, waar medewerkers (mede)eigenaar zijn, voor meer gelijkheid. Laten we meer het Scandinavische model nastreven, in plaats van het Amerikaanse model. Bronnen die we genoemd hebben Robert B.

CD 1536 Checking your Holy Spirit LevelSUBMISSION IS THE POSITION FOR PROMOTION!Background:*Act_6:3  Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.*Act_6:8  And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.*Act_7:55  But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,*Act_11:24  For he (Barnabas) was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.*In this life there's always two ways to do things. One is right and the other isn't, it's just that plain and simple. I'm going to ask you a question in a moment but before I do let me tell you how I came to the title of this message. My dad and Grandpa took two different engines and made one, to go in a log loader truck. In case you don't know what, a log loader truck is, it's simply an old truck that you put a log loader on back in the day. All those things have changed now. But when they put these two engines together in poor times, they ended up with two dipsticks to check the oil with in one engine. If you checked it by one, it showed full but if you checked it by the other one it showed 2 quarts low. See when we use man standard it comes up low compared to God's standard. In this message I'm going to ask you this question what is the last thing that people look at in being full of the Holy Spirit? Now let's go to our text and we'll answer that question:*Ephesians 5:15-21 KJVSSee then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, [16] Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. [17] Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. [18] And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; BUT BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT; [19] Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; [20] Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; [21] SUBMITTING YOURSELVES ONE TO ANOTHER IN THE FEAR OF GOD.Notice in verse 18 we're talking about being filled with the Holy Spirit. We're all familiar with verses 19 and 20 as a gauge of how full we are of the Holy Spirit. But we can't leave off verse 21 because the last is just as important if not more than the previous!Your level, my level of submission truly reveals how much of the Holy Spirit we have and better said how much of us the Holy Spirit has. It's the hardest thing for the natural man to do and that is to submit that natural will to someone else!  This is so important that the apostle Paul by the unction of the Holy Spirit keeps the same thought through the first nine verses of chapter 6. It's all about submission and that submission reveals the level of the Holy Spirit in our lives.Look at our Lord Jesus:*Philippians 2:5-16 KJVSLet this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. [12] Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

When people can't feed themselves and their families and the planet burns, it's clear democracy is not working. On this episode of It's Bloody Complicated, we're diving into the mechanics of how our political system makes our society more unequal and unstable.The structure of our parliaments changes what they can and will do, limiting the potential for the change this country needs. Voting justice would lead to social justice. Where votes are fair and equal across the UK, where people's voices are represented and Westminster doesn't hold an iron grip on crucial levers of power.In the UK, voter are split pretty evenly (49/51) on whether immigration enriches or undermines our society. Yet, three quarters of constituencies have anti-immigration majorities. 8 in 10 Brits are concerned about climate change. Half think that net zero targets need to be brought forward. Over 65% of the public supports nonviolent direct action to protect the environment. The pay rise size that the most working Britons agree with is 1o%.Between union busting, new coal mines, and greater police power, it's clear that chasm between the policy passed and public opinion is creeping wider. Without changing the way we vote, the policy options of what we vote for policies will keep being decided by the margins, factions, and swing voters.Joining us to make the case for voting justice as social justice, and explain the connection between the ballot box and bills passed are:Professor Kate E.

Marianne and Eric chat with Professor Richard Wilkinson, Professor Emeritus of Social Epidemiology at the University of Nottingham. Richard is author most recently of the book The Inner Level, and co-founder of The Equality Trust. In this episode, Richard shares his research on the detrimental and wide-ranging psychological effects of income inequality. He discusses how inequality impoverishes everyone's health, trust, and psychological well-being, even for those "winning" in the income distribution. Richard argues that while positive psychology needs to better understand societal predictors of when people flourish, the field already has discovered many insights that are plainly ignored by policy makers and other shapers of society. Finally, he shares how income inequality is visible and impactful on an everyday basis, and why a more equal society would also do a better job at fighting climate change.The Spirit Level: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/395860/the-spirit-level-new-edition-by-richard-wilkinsonkate-pickett/9780241954294 The Inner Level: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/567749/the-inner-level-by-richard-wilkinson-and-kate-pickett/More information: www.inequality.org

The Rational View welcomes Edgardo Sepulveda back to discuss the interactions between social inequality and COVID-19. Edgardo has co-authored a paper on the topic providing evidence that societies with higher inequity also suffer higher COVID-19 mortality rates. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352827321001798?dgcid=rss_sd_all It is not immediately clear why this might be the case, and it is difficult to tease out a correlation amidst all of the other confounding factors. This discussion is an interesting exploration of the application of statistics and the scientific method. Edgardo Sepulveda has been a telecommunications economist for 25 years, the last 15 with his consulting firm in Toronto, Canada. He was born in Chile and has an MA in Economics. As part of his civic policy-related engagement, he also writes about electricity, inequality, COVID-19 and other issues, including at the Progressive Economics Forum, where he wrote the blog that we'll be discussing on this episode. Edgardo has been the guest on a number of other energy-related podcasts. His Twitter handle is @E_R_Sepulveda. “The Spirit Level” by UK social epidemiologists Picket and Wilkinson is the book that came out in 2009 and popularized the idea that social and economic inequality negatively affects individual and population health.  It has its own Wikipedia entry here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spirit_Level_(book and is highlighted in the Equality Trust (a social NGO set up by them) here:  https://equalitytrust.org.uk/resources/the-spirit-level The Economist covered some of the COVID-inequality work in an article in its July 31, 2021 edition in the Finance section titled: “Why have some places suffered more covid-19 deaths than others?

The poems are: Station Island (1984) The Railway Children Part VII from "Station Island" from The Spirit Level (1996) The Strand Postscript from District and Circle (2006) A Shiver Part 1 of "District and Circle" A Hagging Match from Human Chain (2010) from "Colum Cille Cecinit" from "Hermit Songs" And a final section from his translation of Beowulf You can buy the individual volumes, or find nearly all of these poems in the career-spanning 100 Poems.

Guests:Professor Kate Pickett Professor of Epidemiology at Department of Health Sciences York, and the University's Research Champion for Justice and Equality.  She is co-author of The Spirit Level and The Inner Level and Co-Founder and Trustee of The Equality Trust. Kate is Co-Principal Investigator for the Born in Bradford study.Rose Ssali Programme Lead and Founder of Support and Action for Women Network (SAWN), which promotes the welfare of Black/African women in Oldham and Great Manchester. Rose has worked on immigration, FGM, domestic violence, parenting and money matters for 15 years. She is Chair of Mama Health and Poverty Partnership (MHaPP) a partnership of 14 Black women-led organisations.Andy Bell Deputy Chief Executive at the Centre for Mental Health.  He is a member of the Mental Health Policy Group and was chair of the Mental Health Alliance from 2006 to 2008. Andy has researched the implementation of national mental health policies and local mental health needs assessments.Episode Description:The group define social inequalities and explain how they impact on mental health.Andy shares the findings of the Centre for Mental Health's Commission for Equality in Mental Health reports. Rose gives examples of how this affects Black /African women. For example, how the lack of trust by official bodies, language barriers, parenting issues, economic issues and immigration status combine to impact on these women's mental health. Then due to mental health stigma, there is little recognition of these problems.  The group explores how early life has profound effects on mental health, income and other outcomes. Kate shares an example of bullying statistics from the Born in Bradford study, and discusses why the UK is ranked lower than other Western countries for child wellbeing and how this impacts on inequalities. Rose demonstrates how this plays out in the real world, with rigid systems preventing access to services. Covid has also had an impact - highlighting pre-existing inequalities and amplifying the effect on mental health.The discussion turns to solutions. At the national level, the need for substantial policy changes and a move away from seeing mental health as an individual responsibility. At a local level, involving communities in meaningful co-production of interventions. This requires mutual respect and trust, as well as a commitment to accepting other communities and cultures. Finally, each guest shares one thing they would like for people listening to take away:For local authorities to focus on root causes and systemic inequalities that underpin public mental health, as this will fix mental health as well as other health issues.  To own your patch, whatever it might be - ask what else you can do to help.Go out to schools, youth organisations, community groups and spend time listening. Don't accept that things are immovable.Contact:Host Stu King @Stu_King_HhProfessor Kate Pickett @profkepickettAndy Bell  @CentreforMH, Report on the Commission for Equality in Mental HealthRose Ssali @rose_ssali, @SupportSawn

Why are Americans three times more likely than the Dutch to develop gambling problems? Why is child well-being so much worse in New Zealand than Japan? The answer to all of these questions, hinges on inequality. This talk will explore how inequality affects us individually, how it alters how we think, feel and behave. You'll learn about the overwhelming evidence showing that material inequalities have powerful psychological effects: when the gap between rich and poor increases, so does the tendency to define and value ourselves and others in terms of superiority and inferiority. The speakers will then go on to demonstrate that societies based on fundamental equalities, sharing and reciprocity generate much higher levels of well-being, and lay out a path towards making them a reality.

He is now Professor Emeritus of Social Epidemiology at the University of Nottingham Medical School, Honorary Professor at University College London and Visiting Professor at the University of York.  Since his initial research focussed on health inequalities, his books and research papers have drawn attention to the tendency for societies with bigger income differences between rich and poor to suffer a heavier burden of health and social problems. Two of his books have been the subject of documentary films – The Great Leveller  (for the Channel 4 TV’s Equinox series broadcast in 1996) was based on his Unhealthy Societies.  The Divide (based on The Spirit Level) was released in April 2016 (available on Netflix).  The Spirit Level, written with Kate Pickett is now in 24 languages.  It won the 2011 Political Studies Association Publication of the Year Award and the 2010 Bristol Festival of Ideas Prize.  His TED talk ‘How economic inequality harms societies’ has been watched over 3 million times.  Richard has received Solidar’s Silver Rose Award, the Irish Cancer Society’s Charles Cully Memorial medal, and was The Australian Society for Medical Research medallist in 2017.

A conversation between Professors Kate Picket and Richard Wilkinson and Dr. David Rinaldi, FEPS Director of Studies and Policy. The epidemiologists and political activists, authors of “The Spirit Level" and "The Inner Level" explain why more equality delivers healthier societies. The COVID19 pandemic shows how inequalities have a direct effect on health outcomes as the vulnerable are mostly affected. They warn about other kinds of pandemics that needs a strong policy response: pollution, obesity, global warming, discrimination. To tackle these problems grassroots movements and citizens' mobilisation are needed. There are some proposals on the table that need to be pushed through; from a universal basic income, to a relaunch of public services, job guarantees, etc. Kate and Richard also reflect on the legitimacy of state intervention, which in these times of crisis, expanded to limit some basic freedoms. How to ensure that the public sector steps in for the public good and not with illiberal manners?

In this episode, we're focused on advocacy - getting students motivated to speak up for themselves and change the world. We have so many brilliant voices who feel limited to the classroom, not realizing the power they hold. Particularly, we're going to look at how writing instruction lends itself to promoting student voices, featuring a variety of English educators, as well as authors, who recognize how important the Humanities are to promoting a flourishing democracy.Whenever I've attempted to rally my students up - to get them to stand up for what they believe in - I'm honestly not that successful. Certainly, there's some students who take command and advocate, but most shrug it off. That's not to say they don't care - students overwhelming care about the problems they see in our world...they just don't necessarily think they have the power to change it.There's so much untapped potential in today's youth - an entire generation of young adults who care about tolerance, acceptance, the Earth, and love. Yet schools rarely, if ever, want their students to engage in political discourse....to fight for what they believe in. It makes sense, given how political volatile the United States is, it isn't an advantageous position to have one's students on the news. However, these issues are core to what students find interesting and important, and seeing that relevance in their work...and most importantly, making the connection that their work is valuable, could literally change the world.Further, our classrooms are places of "rank and filing", which frankly is just a reflection of society itself. Our "merit-based" consumerist lifestyles don't lend themselves to positive, fulfilling lives, and schools are increasingly intertwined with the belief that success is framed by hoarding money and obtaining the perfect job. With so much focus on purely capitalist gains, it is no wonder that students feel they lack purpose. Plus, our unjust society contributes to most of our "on paper" problems in education - a lack of food, safety, or any safety net for our disadvantaged youth means we'll never find a human-centered education without reforming to make equitable communities. If educators aren't demanding political action to help impoverished families, then isn't all our work for nothing?The question then becomes twofold: 1) How can we encourage advocacy in schools among our student body, and is that advocacy appropriate? and 2) What is the educator's role in advocating for their students and communities?GUESTS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCEBryn Orum, director of Rise Up and Write, a summer writing program centered around advocacy in Madison, Wisconsin, who used to teach high school English and further, co-founded Clark Street Community School, who our previous guest, Bennett Jester, attends.J.J.

Richard Wilkinson on How Inequality is Bad

Social Science Bites

While generally accepted that inequality is a bad thing, how exactly is that so? Beyond philosophical arguments, what is it about inequality that makes it bad? That’s a question that Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett examined at a societal scale in their 2009 book The Spirit Level and have continued at an individual level with their newest book, The Inner Level. The volume’s subtitles help explain the evolution; Spirit’s is “Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger” while Inner’s is “How More Equal Societies Reduce Stress, Restore Sanity and Improve Everyone’s Wellbeing.” In this Social Science Bites podcast, social epidemiologist Richard Wilkinson lays out the case that inequality should be fought specifically because it fosters a litany of ill effects. (In 2013, his partner Pickett laid out the case for equality in her own Bites podcast.) “In The Spirit Level,” he tells interviewer David Edmonds, “we showed that in more-unequal countries, with bigger income gaps between rich and poor, there is more of a whole range of health and social problems. Life expectancy tends to be lower, more obesity, higher homicide rate, more people in prison, more drug problems, more mental illness. Basically what we showed was that all the problems that have what we call social gradients, problems that are more common down on the social ladder, get worse when you increase the status differences between us.” What’s surprising, he adds, is that these negatives don’t just punch down – while the effects are stronger among the poor in fact they affect broad swathes of the population. Being well off does not inoculate you from the malign effects of inequality. Knowing that, Wilkinson and Pickett, armed with additional research that’s taken place in the last eight years, started to look at how that occurs. Wilkinson said at the time Spirit published they didn’t feel they had enough details to lay out the cause, but their hunch was that it revolved around status, “how inequality creates, or strengthens, feelings of superiority and inferiority.” As he explains here, based on massive and repeated questionnaires, we know that status anxiety – and its ill effects such as worsening health -- affects everyone, the super-rich and the dirt-poor, in the most unequal countries. Status anxiety, he suggests becomes an ironic unifying characteristic across an unequal landscape, which in turn leads him to speculate that if this were recognized it could an earlier step toward creating a more equal society. The podcast concludes with Wilkinson offering advice on creating that society by addressing income inequality by developing “economic democracy,” since an egalitarian society reduces these negative effects described above and makes us happier and healthier overall. Wilkinson is professor emeritus of social epidemiology at the University of Nottingham, an honorary professor of epidemiology and public health at University College London and visiting professor at University of York. He co-founded The Equality Trust, with support from the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, and remains a member if the trust’s board.

The Spirit Level is a book that aims to change the way you see the world. It has impressed politicians on both sides of politics, with David Cameron and Ed Milliband taking note of its message. Packed with scattergrams and statistics, the book argues for more equal societies. The authors, epidemiologists Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, make the case that countries with higher income inequality tend to have more health and social problems. Equality, they say, is better for everyone. But The Spirit Level has been accused of imbalance itself. Critics from the right have launched a scathing attack, saying the books methods and arguments are flawed. So who is correct? Mukul Devichand examines the evidence. He speaks to: Professors Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, authors of The Spirit Level; Professor Peter Saunders, author of Beware False Prophets; Professor John Goldthorpe of Nuffield College, Oxford; Professor George Kaplan of Michigan University; Professor Angela Clow, of the University of Westminster.

Aired 01/31/10 RICHARD WILKINSON & KATE PICKETT authors of an important new book: The Spirit Level: Why More Equal Societies Almost Always Do Better In the UK, the Guardian says The Spirit Level "might be the most important book of the year, and The New Statesman named it one of the top ten books of the past decade. Based on thirty years' research, The Spirit Level shows that unequal societies are bad for the well-off as well as the poor, when it comes to health and social problems, child wellbeing, life expectancy, infant mortality, obesity, educational scores, drop out rates, illegal drug use, mental illness, homicide, incarceration, CO2 emissions, recycling, social mobility, innovation, and levels of trust. The good news: If all these ills are related to one measure - income inequality, then, decreasing inequality should be the central goal of our politics because we can be confident that it works. RICHARD WILKINSON has played a leading role in international research on inequality. He studied economic history at the London School of Economics before training in epidemiology, and is Professor Emeritus at the University of Nottingham Medical School and Honorary Professor at University College London. KATE PICKETT is a senior lecturer at the University of York and a National Institute for Health Research Career Scientist. She studied physical anthropology at Cambridge, nutritional sciences at Cornell and epidemiology at Berkeley before spending four years as an Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago.

SUMMARY Drs. Trevor Hancock and Warren Bell share invaluable insights about the inefficiencies of our existing “downstream” mental health care system, and the opportunities provided by an “upstream” approach that better serves individuals, families, workplaces, and communities through prevention and health promotion. Dr. Hancock, a public health scholar, also touches on ‘shit life syndrome', ‘social prescribing', Men's Sheds, the World Happiness Report, and the role of government in post-COVID mental health care. Dr. Bell, a GP and activist for more than 40 years, says doctors need better mental health training, talks about the need for new treatment and funding models, and encourages GPs to speak out about the need for better mental health care in their communities.   TAKEAWAYS This podcast will help you understand: Reactive “downstream” approaches vs. proactive/preventative “upstream” approaches to mental health care Examples of upstream approaches Role of health promotion in prevention-focused mental health care Roles of government and GPs in upstream systems Impact of COVID-19 in the move toward upstream approaches Contributing factors to mental health challenges (shit life syndrome/diseases of despair, adverse childhood experiences) COVID-19 and its impact on social justice, social tipping points, and social solidarity RESOURCES Upstream approaches to mental health: https://www.thinkupstream.ca/post/look-upstream-to-improve-mental-health Men's Shed Australia: https://mensshed.org/what-is-a-mens-shed/ Social prescribing: https://www.socialprescribingnetwork.com Mental Health Commission of Canada: https://www.mentalhealthcommission.ca/English/who-we-are/annual-report/framework-action-2017-2022 Province of British Columbia: A Pathway to Hope Cascade Institute: https://cascadeinstitute.org/ National Observer: nationalobserver.com Vancouver Observer: vancouverobserver.com World Happiness Report: https://worldhappiness.report/ed/2020/ The Spirit Level, New Edition: https://www.amazon.ca/Spirit-Level-New-Equality-Everyone/dp/0241954290 New Zealand Well-Being Budget: https://wellbeingeconomy.org/new-zealand-announces-wellbeing-budget Population Health Reports (Canada): https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/corporate/publications/chief-public-health-officer-reports-state-public-health-canada.html 2020 Population Health Report (Canada): Addressing Stigma: Toward a More Inclusive Health Care System: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/corporate/publications/chief-public-health-officer-reports-state-public-health-canad
