The Spirit Level - how does it measure up where it matters?

Earlier this year, the Work Foundation published a study of inequality in Britain that threw up some uncomfortable findings for those who believe that income differentials are the root of all evil. The economic fundamentals suggest that the less equal cities are better places to live, but if the Spirit Level hypothesis is correct, people should be fleeing London and Aylesbury to move to Barnsley and Stoke. Perhaps people who want to live the American dream should really be moving to Wearside. I mean no disrespect to these fine cities when I point out that migration in Britain mostly works in the opposite direction.
