'The Curse of Economic Inequality' -- Mon, Sept15 6:00-8:00 pm --workshop downtownContributed by Patricia Rodriguez on 09/07/14 The US has experienced an explosive growth of inequality. Why? Is it the inevitable result of globalized capitalist economies or is it the result of policy choices? If the latter, can we design policies to reverse the rapid increase of income and wealth inequality in the US? After an opening skit, participants develop "elevator speeches" to counter the neoliberal explanations of why US inequality has grown. We discover that the "Curse" also imposes significant social and psychological costs. Where?
