Last week we had the opportunity to listen to an excellent talk on this book, hosted by the Friends of Highgate Library, by the brother of one of the authors. The case of addressing inequality to achieve real well-being is incredibly powerful. But we need to think how to go about getting change. The Greens have some good policies from reducing pay differentials, paying at lease a Living Wage, and getting more people back in work by investing in homes and infrastructure. We led the way in signing up to the Equality Trust's campaign:

Another interesting thesis was the interconnection between the green movement and equality. The speaker argued that an unequal society which fed people's desire to keep up with their neighbours made not only for an unhappy society but for a consumerist society at the expense of protecting our planet for fuutre generations. Generally the Greens argue that if we are to have a greener society we need greater equality in order to share out the limited resources equitably. But here is another reason why we need a more equal society.
