In episode 14 we focus on inequality. Why is it so bad for societies and what can be done about it? Social Europe Editor-in-Chief Henning Meyer discusses these questions and related issues with the economist Tony Atkinson from Oxford University. Tony is a world-leading scholar in this field and has researched issues around inequality for decades, so he really is one of the most important voices in this discussion. Enjoy the conversation!
