Inequality in the United States has increased over the last 50 years across a variety of measures. Public debate often centers around the notion that the rich are getting richer at the expense of the poor. Is this analysis correct, or is there something missing?
Dr. Sean Mulholland, Professor of Economics at Western Carolina University, will address what is really going on with income inequality. He will unpack the data to explain the income and wealth gaps and how to improve the welfare of the poor. More importantly, Dr. Mulholland will show how well-intentioned policies can cause undesirable outcomes.
After, he will open up a discussion about the how we can promote a prosperous, flourishing society for all and how to empower individuals and communities to improve their own situations.
