The economic downturn that hit headlines in 2008 has fueled a rising tide of public anger and populist rhetoric. But it has yet to yield fresh thinking and robust debate about the exceptionally high level of wealth and income inequality in the United States. Please join the New America Foundation and The Nation magazine for a forum that aims to fill this gap.
Four leading scholars will come together to examine inequalitys root causes and assess the economic policies of the Obama administration. Amid worrying signs of resurgent inequality, they will debate the most effective solutions in light of structural realities, political constraints, and global trends.
