Michael asked what the problem was with the original Wilkinson study
(showing that mortality is related to income inequality among developed
countries.) I don't know that it is problem, but I think it was Lynch who
added more developed countries to the list and found the relation was less
clea

Well, if Jencks has concluded that, ask him about research such

figure out why personal income _inequality_ is strongly (negatively)

cities. In other words, do more -- and more equal -- public goods in
