Paul Krugman leads a panel of experts who will discuss the current economy's high inflation and low unemployment, and the policies that can help the U.S. avoid a recession.

Join us for a preview of the new film Americonned, about the effects of income inequality in America and the impact on American workers. A post-screening discussion will feature director Sean Claffey, labor organizers Chris Smalls and Derrick Palmer, and Janet Gornick, Director of the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality.

A new study by Stockholm University’s Arvid Lindh and the Stone Center’s Leslie McCall reveals preferences among Americans for policies that reduce pay inequality within major U.S. corporations — which in turn challenges assumptions about support for free markets.
