Up Front featuring Professor Thomas Coleman | New York

Join Thomas Coleman, PhD'84, a Senior Lecturer at the Harris School of Public Policy and former Executive Director and Senior Advisor at the Becker Friedman Institute for Research in Economics, for a faculty talk focused on inequality, taxes, and transfers, and how they have changed over the last 50 years. There is a widespread perception that the tax-and-transfer system in the United States has become less progressive and less redistributive over the past 50 years. Professors Coleman and David Weisbach, Walter J. Blum Professor of Law, have published recent work examining the question, and have concluded it is simply not supported by the evidence. Join fellow alumni, prospective students, and friends to engage in what promises to be an evening of intellectual engagement and discussion!
