A fairer, healthier, more caring and sustainable society is entirely within our grasp. This book shows us the way.

. How do we ensure that everyone has good health and receives the care they need?
. How do we provide education that allows every child to flourish?
. How do we ensure safety, justice and a sustainable environment for all?

Kate Pickett is a world-leading social scientist whose life's work has been to identify the underlying causes of society's most important problems - and the long-term solutions that will actually work.

In this inspiring book, she shows that to make a good society - in which everyone has what they need to be well, and everyone would be better off - we must prioritise the health, care, education and rehabilitation of those who have the least and suffer the most. This means confronting once and for all the fundamental problems of poverty and inequality that lie behind all the others.

Drawing on over three decades of evidence, and an array of proven solutions and real-world success stories from across the globe, The Good Society cuts to the essence of the challenges we face and presents us with a practical, galvanising, perspective-shifting vision for how to tackle them.
