Join us to celebrate the Center for Inequality Dynamic’s inaugural event! The center will launch with a lecture by Thomas Piketty and welcoming remarks by U-M President Schlissel.

Thomas Piketty will discuss his new book, Capital and Ideology, in which Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, presents a scathing critique of contemporary politics, and outlines a bold proposal for a new and fairer economic system. There will also be a panel discussion with Elizabeth Anderson , John Dewey Distinguished University Professor, and Fabian Pfeffer, director of the Center for Inequality Dynamics, with a reception to follow. Dr. Piketty’s book will be sold at the event and he will also be signing books.
