Andrew Leigh — Inequality and Egalitarianism [Aus. Policy Series - LIVE]
Description
This episode is the second of my live policy salons. It was recorded in Sydney on January 29, 2025.
What is the relationship between economic equality and egalitarianism in the cultural sense? Where does Australia's egalitarian tradition come from? Are we too egalitarian? Is economic inequality increasing? What's been driving it? And does it even matter?
We sit down with Andrew Leigh to discuss these questions and more.
Dr. Andrew Leigh MP is Australia’s Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities, and Treasury, and Assistant Minister for Employment. An economist by training, he was previously Professor of Economics at the Australian National University and earned his PhD from Harvard. The main theme of his academic research has been inequality.
