Income and wealth inequality is a problem we can’t ignore. It affects not just our economy, but also our communities and our mental health. It separates us in ways we often cannot afford. Inequalities due to race, gender, or other social identities similarly divide us and add complexity to the problems we face. But there is disagreement about how to talk about inequality. In particular, how should we understand social identities and what role we expect them to play in addressing inequality broadly? This panel discussion brings together experts who see things from different angles.
