Talks

Overcoming Inequality

Paul Johnson
Progress was once assumed. Not anymore. Join economist and bestselling author of Follow the Money, Paul Johnson, as he reveals how entrenched inequalities in income, wealth, health, and political power are a direct threat to our way of life. From early life experiences and education to regional divides and generational wealth, he argues that stalled growth has amplified disparities across age, gender, ethnicity, and geography, thus undermining trust, social mobility, and democracy itself. Johnson lays out how we can still change course. "Fire and passion, combined with the facts." — Polly Toynbee
