And the winner is...

We are delighted to announce that, last night (19th May), The Spirit Level won the book prize at the Bristol Festival of Ideas. The prize is awarded for the best book presenting new, important and challenging ideas, and which is engaging, accessible and rigorously argued.

Congratulations to Richard & Kate!

Echoing Kate's comments from the platform last night, the Trust would also like to thank everyone who has bought, read and promoted the book to their friends, families and contacts - and in particular those who have gone on to support the Trust in whatever way they felt able.
