Rethinking inequality and what to do about it

Open dialogue on inequality in the 21st century


Inequality is a defining challenge of our time. But what does it really look like? Do we have the right measures of inequality? How is it changing? And what might this mean for societies worldwide for the rest of the 21st century?
