In The Good Society: And How We Make It, Kate Pickett argues that poverty is not an isolated misfortune but the predictable outcome of deep economic inequality, which erodes trust, health, and opportunity across society. Drawing on decades of research, she contends that by confronting inequality through bold measures such as Universal Basic Income and wealth taxes, we can move beyond managing deprivation and begin building a fairer, more resilient world.
