Webcast: How can we create inclusive growth?
Income inequality in many countries is at its highest level for the past half century, prompting a new look at its economic repercussions. Growing dissatisfaction across the globe has led to political tensions and questions about how society has dealt with the trade-off between growth and fairness. While tax is one of the most commonly used instruments to promote greater social inclusion, there are many different levers available that have not been fully exploited.
On October 5, the Brookings Global Economy and Development Program and the World Economic Forum will host a discussion on ways to create a stronger, fairer, and more sustainable economic model in which the many—and not just the fortunate few—benefit from rising prosperity. After the program, panelists will take questions.
This event will be webcast at 2pm – 3:30pm EDT, October 5. Join the conversation on Twitter at #InclusiveGrowth.
