I despair that our work for twenty-six years has had no popular impact.
The epidemiology (see 'The Spirit Level' book, and a host of sequels, and the website www.equalitytrust.org.uk confirm, unambiguously, that mortality and morbidity - death and illness - are increased by the stress caused by economic inequality, specifically income inequality.
People in more equal societies are healthier, live longer, more fulfilled lives, are more peaceful, more ecologically resposnsible, and are more happy.
People living in more unequal societies, be they Countries or States within Countries, are less healthy, die younger, etc.
In short: stress weakens auto-immune systems in people, and in societies and ecosystems.
The solution, therefore, is to create more or greater income-equal societies, Nationally and Globally.
That's what the living plan for democratic and Co-operative Socialism is all about.
Sadly, hardly anyone is listening.
