UNDESA DISD 52d ago

This webinar was organized by the Division for Inclusive Social Development (DISD) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA). The rise of economic inequality in wealthy countries over the past four decades raises serious questions about the state of political equality in those same nations. In this webinar, Professor Ansell discusses changes in political equality from voter participation to voting behaviour to the descriptive and substantive representativeness of legislatures. How should we think about the differences between income and wealth inequality? Does inequality drive voting? And does it change who represents us?
