Matthew Foster The book ‘The Spirit Level’ was not written to show the link between inequality and voting systems but the link is nonetheless there if one looks closely. A quick review of the Spirit Level graphs shows that the countries with the greatest inequality are also generally using Plurality/Majority voting whereas those with the least inequality all have Proportional Representation voting systems. 1 year ago

Gillick A great resource. A succinct and concise explanantion of the 'dangers' - to us all - of inequality. Thank you. 3 years ago

MercuryChaos This is a good resource. The one issue I have with it is the data on obesity - I can see on the final slide that 'obesity' is defined as a body mass index higher than 30. The BMI formula is not based in medical science, and it's not a reliable indicator of obesity or health: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106268439&sc=fb&cc=fp 3 years ago
