The PowerPoint file linked directly above contains 35 of the more important graphs shown on this web site and/or published in The Spirit Level.  We hope you will use them in talks, lectures or discussion groups to help increase people's understanding of the effects of inequality. 

The slides (and the graphs contained within them) can be downloaded and used freely without permission, on condition you acknowledge their source: The Spirit Level, Wilkinson & Pickett, Penguin 2009.

We strongly recommend that you use them in conjunction with the book which explains the relationships shown in the graphs.
