ENOUGH. A talk about extreme wealth and what it means to turn away from it.

Wednesday 27 November 2024, 6.30pm-8.00pm, in person and online public event (MAR 1.10, The Marshall Building)

Hosted by the Department of Social Policy

Over the past 50 years extreme wealth has accelerated. Shareholder primacy, tax avoidance, executive pay and ‘hoover up economics’ have meant that more and more money is in private hands versus government and that that private money is increasingly concentrated amongst a few individuals.

Leading economist Kate Raworth and extreme wealth expert Jake Hayman will be speaking on this critical subject, in a conversation chaired by Dr Sunil Kumar.
