[Peace] Piketty reading group - Wednesday 22 July, 6pm

[C. G. Estabrook]

Tonight’s meeting of the AWARE group reading “Capital in the Twenty-First Century” will consider Part Three: "The Structure of Inequality” through Chapter 12, "Global Inequality of Wealth in the Twenty-First Century.” 

This chapter considers questions such as "The Moral Hierarchy of Wealth”; "The Pure Return on University Endowments”; "Will China Own the World?”; and "Are the Rich Countries Really Poor?”  (What do you bet?)

For those who would like to catch up, there is a summary of the book at <http://piketty.pse.ens.fr/files/Piketty2014Capital21c.pdf> (h/t D. Green).

Members and friends of AWARE are invited to participate in the discussion at 6pm on Wednesday 22 July at 5 Litchfield Lane in Champaign (regardless of whether they’ve read the text).  —CGE
