Why Economic Inequalities Endure

Building on insights from the Origin and Future of Economic Inequality, join us for a discussion featuring two of the most renowned scholars on the study of inequality: Samuel Bowles and Steven Durlauf. Their conversation will be moderated by Ethan Bueno de Mesquita, Dean and Sydney Stein Professor at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy.

Together, they will examine how socioeconomic inequality persists across generations, with a special focus on the mechanisms that embed it within institutions. Attendees will leave with an understanding of how economic and policy choices continue to shape unequal outcomes. This timely and consequential conversation will not only unearth why inequalities endure but also surface strategies to promote greater economic mobility.
