In this Reboot Republic podcast we are delighted to welcome back global expert on inequality - Professor Richard Wilkinson, co-author of the Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everyone and the Inner Level: How more Equal Societies Reduce Stress, and Improve Everyone's Well-Being.

Richard outlines the status and mental health impacts of inequality, how more equal societies achieve better outcomes on many social issues, the impact of COVID, both negatively affecting social bonds and positively, in the recognition that we are a society and are interdependent. He also delves into homelessness and poverty as forms of social control. Finally he outlines what Governments and societies should do to achieve, what is possible - much more equal societies.

Richard is truly a leader in this area and we are delighted to be able to bring him to you on The Tortoise Shack.

Happy New Year to all our listeners and if you can,then please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack
