Paul Barber in Wellington – Let’s do something about income inequality
While the tents of the Occupy protesters may be moved on, the issues of income inequality will not be pushed to one side so easily. The backdrop of massive international social and economic disparities shape the context for the particular challenges we face in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Deputy Prime Minister Bill English has said that the important thing about income inequality is what we actually do about it. This lecture looks at our current situation and asks – what (if anything) is being done about inequality right now and what more we could do. Can we find a path to a social and political consensus on income inequality and what might that path look like?
Paul Barber from NZCSS will address this question in a lecture to the Fabian Society at 5:30pm at Connolly Hall, Guilford Terrace, on February 28th. You can register here.
