INEQUALITY: A Dialogue for the Americas

Abstract: 

Kirsten Sehnbruch and Harley Shaiken on the ground-breaking new series from CLAS connecting Berkeley with experts from Latin America in live video conferences. The featured topic for this semester: inequality.

Inequality has emerged as a global crisis. "The problem is not only that the top income groups are getting a larger share of the economic pie," Joseph Stiglitz writes, "but also that those in the middle are not sharing in economic growth, while in many countries poverty is increasing."
