What exactly are we measuring when we talk about inequality? Besides income and wealth, Sam Bowles suggests that we should challenge conventional economic thinking and incorporate measures of morality when studying the gap between the privileged and the vulnerable.

Episode 1 features a dynamic duo: Stone Center Director Steven Durlauf is joined by Samuel Bowles, a distinguished Professor of Economics, Emeritus, at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Arthur Spiegel Research Professor at the Sante Fe Institute, and Affiliated Scholar at the University of Siena. Together, they engage in a thought-provoking discussion on how economists can better serve society.

Some research offering optimism that the effects of affirmative action can persist even if the policies are no longer enforced.

[UChicago | Stone Center on Inequality & Mobility @UCStoneCenter]

Throwing it back to Season 1 of The Inequality Podcast!

Contrary to popular belief, ending affirmative action policy does not necessarily mean the positive effects disappear. Even in its absence, affirmative action promotes diversity in hiring practices. How does this happen?

Stone Center Director @sndurlauf, chatted with Professor @conradcmiller, an Associate Professor at the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley, to uncover fascinating insights into affirmative action and discrimination.
