My name is Conor Reid, and I'm a 17 year old bibliophile, logophile, technophile, and partially an audiophile. 100% star stuff. I'm diseased, too. Huzzah!

A fantastically intriguing talk that proves empirically that the well-being of 1st world societies (mental and physical health, average lifespans, child mortality rates, literacy and happiness levels, etc) are directly related to income equality (or the lack thereof) and not GDP or average income. Even more surprisingly, it reveals that both the poor and rich fair better off under societies with more income equality and social mobility.
