In Too Much Money, Max Rashbrooke writes “unequal wealth distribution creates, and is created by, inequalities in health, housing, schooling, income and political power”. Nevil Gibson argues that attempts to suppress inequality are unlikely and impractical. Along with psychiatrist and author Dr Hinemoa Elder, they square off on the economic and social realities of life with Tova O’Brien.
