The Equality Effect by Danny Dorling
The Equality Effect is almost magical. In more equal countries, human beings are generally happier and healthier, there is less crime, more creativity and higher educational attainment. In this book, Danny Dorling delivers all evidence that is now so overwhelming that it should be changing politics and society all over the world. He demonstrates where greater equality is currently to be found, and how we can set The Equality Effect in motion everywhere.

Before a career in academia Danny was employed as a play-worker in children′s play-schemes and in pre-school education where the underlying rationale was that playing is learning for living. He tries not to forget this. He is an Academician of the Academy of the Learned Societies in the Social Sciences, Honorary President of the Society of Cartographers and a patron of Roadpeace, the national charity for road crash victims.
