SUMMARY:Capitalism and Democracy: Can They Coexist?
DESCRIPTION:Capitalism is losing its luster. Most millennials in the U.S. now say they prefer socialism. Inequality is rising\, as those at the top take more of economic winnings. Anger and despair have risen among many of those who are being left behind. Populism is on the rise\, on the political left and right. Capitalism and democracy were once seen as symbiotically related: a broadly market economy embedded within a liberal\, representative demos. Now the partnership is in question\, in part because of the perceived failure of democratic institutions to generate shared economic prosperity. So: what’s next? State capitalism? Socialism? A basic income? An expert panel discusses these issues\, featuring: Leslie McCall\, presidential professor of sociology and political science and associate director of the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality at The Graduate Center; Vanessa Williamson\, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of Read My Lips: Why Americans Are Proud to Pay Taxes; and Andrew Yang\, tech entrepreneur\, philanthropist\, and founder of Venture for America. Moderated by Richard Reeves\, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution\, author of Dream Hoarders and curator of the The Guardian’s “Broken Capitalism” series. \nPresented in collaboration with The Guardian’s series “Broken Capitalism.” \n  \nWatch the video of this event.

SUMMARY:Workers and Wages in America Today
DESCRIPTION:In this time of low unemployment\, why is it so hard for American workers to make a living? Why haven’t the economy’s gains of the recent past meant higher wages for everyone? A panel of experts examines the power\, or weakness\, of the American worker—looking at factors such as features of U.S. markets\, technology\, globalization\, gendered wage patterns\, and the decline of unions. Featuring Paul Krugman\, Nobel Prize–winning economist\, New York Times columnist\, and distinguished professor at The Graduate Center; Heidi Shierholz\, senior economist and director of policy at The Economic Policy Institute; Arindrajit Dube\, professor of economics at UMass Amherst; and Eduardo Porter\, economics reporter for the business section of The New York Times (moderator). \nWatch the video.
