Opis

The complex answer to why the U.S. does so poorly in health measures has at its base one pervasive issue: the U.S. has by far the highest levels of inequality of all the rich countries. Inequality Kills Us All details how living in a society with entrenched hierarchies increases the negative effects of illnesses for everyone.
