Lecture at UO will offer solutions for wealth inequality
We are living in a time of extreme inequality, and few places are more unequal than the United States. America’s 20 richest people now own more wealth than the bottom half of the rest of the population combined. Scholar and activist Chuck Collins argues that these inequalities have their roots in forty years of the powerful and wealthy rigging the entire system in their favor. He proposes a wide range of public policies to roll back decades of accelerating inequality, analyzes the barriers to progress, and shows how transformative local campaigns can be made into a national movement for change.
Collins’s lecture is free and open to the public, and will be followed by a book sale and signing. For information, or disability accommodations (which must be made by April 10th), please call (541) 346-3934 or contact ohc@uoregon.edu.
