Description
A dialogue between two of the world's most influential thinkers, Thomas Piketty and Michael Sandel, explores the value of equality and its relevance in today's world. They consider how far we have come in achieving greater equality, while also confronting the extreme divides that remain. Piketty and Sandel discuss the need for more inclusive investment in health and education, higher progressive taxation, and curbing the power of the rich. They also grapple with the challenges of material and social change, and the role of the left in addressing issues like nationalism and global climate change. Their conversation offers a glimpse into new possibilities for change and justice, but also acknowledges the difficulties and conflicts that often accompany progress towards greater equality.
