Offshore Experts & Global Inequality
How has economic inequality become so extreme around the world? Before the pandemic, 26 men together owned as much wealth as the 3.8 billion people who comprised the poorest 50% of people globally; in 2021, the problem has become even worse. Who makes this happen? Can anything be done to stop it? These and related questions will be addressed by Sociology Professor Brooke Harrington, whose award-winning research examines the role of professionals, particularly offshore, in creating a system of economic and political inequality with global repercussions.
