Is Economic Inequality Inevitable?

Since the 1980s, wealth and income inequality has started to rise again in many countries. While some, such as the US, have seen a significant increase in inequality, others, such as Sweden, have maintained relatively stable levels. Explore the reasons for these divergent trends: What are the roots of inequality and which policies can make a real difference? //INFO: This session will be translated by Wordly.

Reinventing Economics: How to make it more useful?
60
The economic growth model that developed after the 1990s has been distorted by shocks such as the global financial crisis of 2008, the COVID-19 pandemic, rising climate change, and the war in Ukraine. Economics as a discipline may need to look for a renewal. Inspired by the International Monetary Fund’s “Finance & Development March 2024’” issue, this session will explore how to make economics more useful for tackling the big issues of our time. //INFO: This session will be translated by Wordly.
