In what promises to be an extremely thought-provoking discussion, leading thinkers, policymakers and influences will reflect on the relationship between wealth accumulation, societal responsibility, and democratic governance.
In the face of rising wealth inequality, increasing political influence by the ultra-wealthy, and the impending transfer of vast fortunes across generations, it's vital that we consider the role of wealth in shaping the future of our societies and democracies.
This event will explore key questions:
- The role of the ultra-wealthy in shaping the world of tomorrow.
- The role the extremely wealthy could play in tackling key global issues.
- Is an extreme wealth line required, and should this be linked to a progressive tax system?
- What are the wealthy’s responsibilities?
- Can intergenerational wealth become a tool for societal good?
- How should governments protect the core democratic values of fairness, accountability and social mobility?
- How can education, healthcare and welfare be shaped to rebalance the inequalities?
