Why do we worry so much about what others think of us and often feel social life is a stressful performance? Why is mental illness three times as common in the USA as in Germany? Why is the American dream more of a reality in Denmark than the USA? What makes child well-being so much worse in some countries than others? As The Inner Level demonstrates, the answer to all these is inequality. Wilkinson and Pickett describe how these responses to hierarchies evolved, and why the impacts of inequality on us are so severe. In doing so, they challenge the conception that humans are inescapably competitive and self-interested. They undermine, too, the idea that inequality is the product of "natural" differences in individual ability. This book draws together many of the most urgent problems facing societies today, but it is not just an index of our ills. It demonstrates that societies based on fundamental equalities, sharing and reciprocity generate much higher levels of well-being, and lays out the path towards them"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a Examines how inequality affects the individual, discussing the psychological effects of material inequality and showing how bigger status differences lead to more stress, increased anxiety, and insecurity. 650 0 $a Individualism $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Individualism $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Social mobility $x Psychological aspects. 700 1 $a Pickett, Kate, $e author. 775 08 $i Reproduction of (manifestation): $a Wilkinson, Richard G. $t Inner level $d [London] : Allen Lane, an imprint of Penguin Books, 2018 $z 9781846147418 941 $a 8 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710043558.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702023342.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061042.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724012100.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20191001011102.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190726011835.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20190313010419.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190202010844.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D8A978A26B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
