Enrichment
How economic inequality might affect a society's well-being
4th June 2019
This 12 minute video from PBS in the USA is ideal enrichment material for students looking at the issue of how to measure and calibrate changes in economic well-being, a much broader and - to an extent - subjective measure of progress. It include an interview with Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett - authors of the Spirit Level and a new book The Inner Level.
