Hohe Einkommensungleichheit ist in vielerlei Hinsicht eine soziale Geißel: Wie Kate Pickett und Richard Wilkinson in zwei wichtigen Büchern, The Spirit Level und The Inner Level, überzeugend berichteten, führt höhere Ungleichheit allgemein zu schlechterer Gesundheit, was die Wahrscheinlichkeit, an COVID-19 zu sterben, erheblich erhöht.
High income inequality is a social scourge in many ways. As Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkinson convincingly reported in two important books, The Spirit Level and The Inner Level, higher inequality leads to worse overall health conditions, which significantly increases vulnerability to COVID-19 deaths.
