| Inhalt |
This seminar will engage with the topic of economic inequalities in the tradition of political economy. Therefore, it will engage first with the observed trends in economic and social inequalities before discussing the potential political, social, and economic causes sustaining such trends. The seminar will pay particular consideration to the diverse forms of inequalities and insist on the interplay between national and global inequalities as well as interpersonal and group-level inequalities. It will engage with the mechanisms of inequalities’ social reproduction and present the normative theoretical debates surrounding the concept of equity in a liberal meritocracy. Building on the precedent discussions, it will conclude by presenting another perspective on inequalities, that of their political consequences.
