The Gathering in York is now over - but we hope Friends present and absent will continue the spirit of the Gathering through the rest of the year and beyond!

On this website you can continue to read and listen to the speakers' presentations, watch the videos made during the week, and read the other articles posted during the week using the tag cloud links below.

We hope you will continue to use the Woodbrooke Workpack (and keep an eye out for the follow-up workpacks), and also add your comments to the individual articles here, on the YMGBlog, on the discussion forum, and in your own meetings and communities.

This sounds an absolutely fascinating topic. However, as Richard Wilkinson says at the start, the lecture is based upon graphs and unfortunately it is not possible to follow his reasoning without those graphs. So, either a video of the lecture is needed, or if one has not been made, then i look forward to finding out how the printed version of the lecture may be obtained (if all the graphs are included in the book).

Yes, it was a terrific lecture – and you do need to see the graphs – they are in the book.

They all show the same significant correlation and it is remarkable to see them all in succession!

The conclusion is really important (that income inequality within a society has very wide-ranging negative effects) and should spur us all into action.
