I recently heard of this book, it seems interesting. I haven't read it, but apparently two persons by the names of Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett have done a 30-year study of society and found out that the more economic unequality the worse that society is.

The Spirit Level (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spirit_Level:_Why_More_Equal_Societies_Almost_ Always_Do_Better) (Wikipedia info)

Well, not that it is surprising that humans are better of helping and cooperating - is this book a good argument?
