How economic inequality harms societies | Richard Wilkinson
TED
Richard Wilkinson presents data showing that societies with larger income gaps do worse on health, lifespan, trust and other measures. He argues the effects track inequality itself rather than average income. It is a 17-minute TED talk.
HN commenters cite it in inequality debates as a compact summary of studies linking inequality to worse social outcomes.
