Vrije markten en (vermogens)ongelijkheid - hoe gaan we daar mee om?

<p>On the role of free markets for societal wellbeing, with Elizabeth Anderson and Francois Bourguignon.</p>
<p>Inequality between countries has become smaller over time, but within-country inequality is on the rise. Many fear that societal uprisings and further polarisation will be the result. Increased inequality is also allegedly related to the rise of populist movements. How will increasing inequality affect our societies? What role have free markets and technological innovation played? Can, and should we turn the tide? And who is the ‘we’ in that?</p>
<p>In collaboration with VU Amsterdam, Moral Markets group and Pakhuis de Zwijger, De Nieuwe Wereld proudly present this series on the future of capitalism. Over the course of ten dialogues David van Overbeek (De Nieuwe Wereld) and Natasja van den Berg (Pakhuis de Zwijger) will consult world-renowned economists and thinkers, and explore the tension between how our economic system currently functions and how it should function.</p>
