The Spirit Level Delusion by Christopher Snowdon

Fact-checking the Left's New Theory of Everything

This book critically examines the arguments presented in the popular work "The Spirit Level," which claims that societies with more equality tend to have better health and social outcomes. It challenges the methodology and conclusions of the original research, arguing that the evidence supporting the benefits of equality is flawed and that other factors, such as economic freedom and individual choice, play a more significant role in determining societal well-being. Through a detailed analysis, the book seeks to debunk the notion that income inequality is the root cause of social problems, advocating instead for a more nuanced understanding of the complexities involved.
