SUMMARY:Ladder or Lottery? Economic Promises and the Reality of Who Gets Ahead
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 11 at 12:00 PM EST in William Pitt Union\, Dining Room B\nAre people able to control their position on the economic spectrum through their own actions? Drawing on his research in income redistribution\, political economy\, and ethics in the economics profession\, Hoover will examine this question\, what the “social contract” requires of its citizens\, and what it promises in return. Using movements such as Occupy Wall Street\, the Tea Party\, the Arab Spring\, and student debt forgiveness as case studies of broken promises\, he will consider how income inequality\, health care\, and artificial intelligence may shape future unrest. \nBiography\nGary Hoover is the Executive Director of the Murphy Institute at Tulane University\, where he is also a professor of economics and affiliate professor of law. He is the founding and current editor of the Journal of Economics\, Race\, and Policy. He also serves on the advisory board of the Opportunity and Inclusive Growth Institute at the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank\, and the board of the National Tax Association. \nRegister here
