The Price of Inequality
Events | Community Events

Why is our economic system failing most Americans—and what price are we paying for it as a society? How can we overcome the vicious circle of inequality and an undermined democracy? Drawing on a deep well of economic understanding and perspective, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz explores these and other pressing questions to show that growing inequality is not inevitable. But if left unchecked, can result in crippled growth and a divided society that cannot tackle its most urgent problems.
