Rich and poor: a cause for social unrest? at the Oxford Literary Festival 2015
This roundtable is part of the FT Weekend Oxford Literary Festival 2015, the Oxford Martin School is the Festival Ideas Partner
Is it morally justified to allow the creation of a 'super rich' that leave the rest behind? Is the growing gap between rich and poor actually holding back wider economic growth and financial wellbeing? Could it be a cause of social unrest? And what can we do to address the gap between rich and poor?
This panel event is one of a series of roundtable talks and audience question time hosted by the Oxford Martin School.
