Democracy or Concentrated Great Wealth: Your Choice!
COURSE FULL. TO GO ONTO WAITING LIST, PLEASE E-MAIL US AT [email protected]
The lives of the richest people in the most prosperous parts of the world are agonizingly visible to anyone, however poor, who has access to a phone. This puts a spotlight on the unfairness of inequality. What was once viewed as a fringe political issue is now at the heart of angry, populist rhetoric. But if the ability of people to improve their economic station was higher, our income disparity might not be such a problem.
What can & is being changed? In this course we’ll look at imaginative ways that barriers to economic mobility are being removed, like: patents & copyrights being over-ruled to allow start-ups a chance to compete, to innovate & not be sued; like young adults being automatically registered to vote at age 18 so they can pick politicians who will work for them. We’ll also look at a multitude of actions that are reducing the perpetuation of extreme wealth!
