The Equality Trust has a brilliant website (click here) promoting a simple truth that could, and should, revolutionise global politics, and providing ways in which we can all help make it happen. Drawing on 30 years of research, they look at eleven global problems: physical health, mental health, drug abuse, education, imprisonment, obesity, social mobility, trust and community life, violence, teenage births, and child well-being. For all of these problems, they provide overwhelming evidence showing that outcomes are very much worse in more unequal societies.
They also present evidence on four other issues. One is how greater equality within rich countries can contribute to tackling inequalities between rich and poor countries. Another is a discussion of both the compatibility and relative merits of greater equality and economic growth as sources of improvements in the quality of life among rich countries. There is a page discussing how greater equality may contribute to policies designed to tackle global warming, and lastly, a page suggesting many ways of increasing equality within our societies.
Please go and visit the Equality Trust website, read what they have to say, then follow the links they provide for you to get involved. Together, we can make a difference.
