Presented by: Geoffrey Sanzenbacher, Associate Professor of the Practice, Economics Department, Boston College

 

Economic inequality in the United States has been worsening over the last four decades. Middle-class men have seen real income declines, women's progress towards equal pay with men has stalled out, and racial inequality remains a major problem. And all of this is happening against a backdrop of rising incomes for the very rich. This presentation will focus on documenting these facts and then providing a brief overview of what economics has to say about these trends. Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP to bcis@bc.edu.
