There has been a review in THES Jan 12th of a book entitled 'Mind the gap:
Hierachies, Health and Human Evolution' by Richard  Wilkinson, (Univ of
Sussex) Weidenfeld & Nicolson,

The review reports that   detrimental social effects arise when  income
distribution is not evenly spread, independent of absolute deprivation.  It
is reported that health suffers in consequence.

The book seems to echo John Courtneidge's message.
