Tony Atkinson: Where is Inequality Headed?

On May 16th, 2013 Tony Atkinson gave an Arrow Lecture asking what can be learned from historical experience and from economic models of the generation of inequality. It explored the long-run development of inequality of income and wealth in the US and in Europe. Sir Tony Atkinson, currently at Nuffield College, Oxford, works predominantly on the economics of income distribution, poverty and security, micro-economics, and public economics.

The Arrow Lecture Series in Ethics and Leadership is named in honor of Nobel Laureate Kenneth Arrow, an economics professor emeritus from Stanford. Watch other videos of Arrow Lectures here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=...
