Equality and a holiday
Going to be in Samoa with family for a holiday for next eight days. BigCake is not completely going to rest – he’s taking a copy of “The spirit level – Why equality is better for everyone” with him, so expect posts (perhaps during next week) on equality.
The authors ask: How is it that we have created so much mental and emotional suffering despite levels of wealth and comfort unprecedented in human history?
Should be a fun read.
