Date: Wednesday 14th May
Time: 6- 7pm
Location: Prospect’s Office + Livestreaming
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:
- Should an extreme wealth line exist, and what are its societal implications?
- What responsibilities do the wealthy bear in addressing inequality and supporting democracy?
- How should governments act to ensure wealth does not erode political freedoms?
Leading Panellists
- Kehinde Andrews, Professor of Black Studies, Birmingham City University, UK
- Oliver Bullough, author and journalist, UK
- Rebecca Gowland, International Director, Patriotic Millionaires, UK
The debate will be led by Alan Rusbridger, editor of Prospect
