The Stone Center served as host of the Seventh Meeting of the Society for the Study of Economic Inequality (ECINEQ). The meeting featured three official Keynote Lectures:
Marc Fleurbaey (Princeton University), “Inequalities, Social Justice and the Web of Social Interactions,” in which he proposes a new model that better incorporates the quality of social relations in the analysis of inequalities.
Peter Lindert (University of California – Davis), “The Rise and Future of Progressive Redistribution,” in which he examines the causes and extent of progressive redistribution.
Frank Cowell (London School of Economics), “Inheritance, Inequality, and the Idle Rich,” in which he discusses the intergenerational development of wealth distribution.
The three-day event took place July 17-19, 2017 at The Graduate Center. For more GC events, go to https://www.gc.cuny.edu/All-GC-Events/GC-Presents.
