In this post, Stone Center postdoctoral scholar Zhexun Mo, an economist whose research focuses on the intersection of political economics, development, and economic history, reflects on the Center’s recent international workshop.

Fifteen researchers associated with the GC CUNY Stone Center, including three senior scholars, attended the 2nd III/LIS Comparative Economic Inequality Conference, held in Luxembourg on February 27 and 28.

Salvatore Morelli, whose research was cited by The Economist in a recent article on the “return of inheritocracy,” discusses the surge in inherited wealth, what this means for wealth inequality, and potential solutions for the negative effects of the ongoing Great Wealth Transfer.
