The Broken Ladder
The Broken Ladder: How Inequality Affects the Way We Think, Live, and Die | Keith Payne
The "disparity between rich and poor has ramifications that extend far beyond mere financial means. In [this book], psychologist Keith Payne examines how inequality divides us not just economically, but also has profound consequences for how we think, how our cardiovascular systems respond to stress, how our immune systems function, and how we view moral ideas such as justice and fairness"--Dust jacket flap.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Well written and researched. I picked this up from Obama‘s best reads of 2018 list. Much to think about. Highly recommend.

Keith Payne is a Professor of Psychology at the University of North Carolina and an expert in the psychology of inequality and discrimination and in this fascinating, eye-opening, must-read book that has completely changed the way I think about the subject, he sets out in easy-to-understand chapters just how deeply inequality permeates society, influencing decisions, opportunities and even health.
