Imagine designing a society without knowing your role in it. Would you still choose the inequality we live with today? Eve Irvine welcomes Kate Pickett, Author and Professor of Epidemiology at the University of York. Her work as a social epidemiologist concludes that inequality is not just unfair, it has real-life, even deadly, consequences. It erodes trust, wellbeing, education, and even the length of our lives.

This book, The Good Society, is a call to collective courage, to choose policies that prioritize human flourishing, over GDP, a focus on designing equity.
