Distinguished KAITEKI Lecture: How much income inequality is fair? A surprising answer to a 200-year-old open question in political economy
Extreme economic inequality is widely seen as a serious threat to the future of stable and vibrant capitalist democracies. Yet some inequality is inevitable, even desirable and necessary, for capitalist societies to work productively. But how much more? The debate is not so much about inequality per se as it is about fairness.
Seminar: Reinventing the Chemicals and Materials Industry for a Net-Zero, Nature-Positive World
