SUMMARY:Wealth & Poverty with Robert Reich
DESCRIPTION:Join the library to explore why inequalities of income and wealth have widened significantly over time. This class is taught by Robert Reich–whose UC Berkeley college course on Wealth and Poverty offers insights into the political and public-policy debates that have arisen in light of this inequality, as well as possible means of reversing it. This community gathering is a collaboration between the Sparta Free Library and the Blue Stockings Book Club. Together, we will view course videos and hold brief discussions immediately following.\n\nWe’ll be addressing these questions this week: How have trends in wealth and income inequalities developed across racial groups? How do we remedy systemic racism? What are some examples? What policies can actually eliminate these gaps? What institutions would have to be created, reformed, or eliminated entirely?\n
