In this University of York feature, Professor Kate Pickett sets out her vision and plan for how to build a better and fairer Britain.
For three decades, Professor Kate Pickett has researched systemic inequalities in society and campaigned for policy change that makes a tangible difference to people's lives.
In this extract from her new book, The Good Society: And How We Make it, Professor Pickett argues that we already hold the blueprint for how to create fairer, healthier, and more prosperous societies and that it is time to make this vision a reality.
