Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett

On January 8th and 9th, Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett will be in Seattle to talk about their new book: The Spirit Level: Why More Equal Societies Almost Always Do Better. The evidence is overwhelming that more equal societies do better at almost everything we desire except spending that extra trillion dollars (only banksters know what to do with that kind of money). In this book, Wilkinson and Pickett offer compelling evidence that more unequal societies are bad for everyone within them—the well-off as well as the poor, and share how to shift the balance from self-interested consumerism to a friendlier and more collaborative society. Schedule: on January 8th, Wilkinson and Pickett will speak at 3:30 pm at Hogness Auditorium, University of Washington Health Sciences Building, Room A 420; that evening, January 8, they will present at 7:30 PM at Town Hall; and on Saturday January 9, they will talk from 2-4 PM in the Communications Building Rm 126, at the University of Washington.
