In The Spirit Level Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett put inequality at the centre of public debate by showing conclusively that less equal societies fare worse than more equal ones across everything from education to life expectancy. The Inner Level now explains how inequality affects us individually, how it alters how we think, feel and behave. It sets out the overwhelming evidence 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.

Something sinister was stirring behind the closed doors and beneath the gleaming surfaces, a tension simmering just out of sight. A shadow flickered over the land of power and privilege, where appearances were crafted meticulously to conceal the truth, and nothing was as serene as it seemed. Alongside the gossamer whispers of corruption that hung in the air was something even more profound, an unspoken accord silently weaving through deals struck in dimly lit corners and half-smoked cigars exchanged among a select few. The acrid scent of smoke curled up toward the ceiling, mingling with the...

Tom’s hand rested on his belt, where his radio sat. He had been about to clock out when he’d heard something unusual in this place, where every movement was typically predictable. The country club’s board ...
