David Leonhardt of The New York Occasions and John Early of the Cato Institute debate the decision, “The stagnation of residing requirements and hovering financial inequality have turn into the defining financial developments of American life.”
For the affirmative is Leonhardt, a senior author at The New York Occasions and the creator of Ours Was the Shining Future: The Story of the American Dream, which The Atlantic, the Monetary Occasions, and McKinsey & Co. named top-of-the-line books of 2023. He writes The Morning, the Occasions‘s flagship publication. In 2012, he gained a Pulitzer Prize for commentary.
Early is taking the detrimental. He’s an adjunct scholar on the Cato Institute and president of the consultancy Vital Few LLC. He’s a former assistant commissioner on the Bureau of Labor Statistics and former legislative assistant to Sen. George McGovern (D–S.D.). His greater than 80 publications embrace The Myth of American Inequality: How Government Biases Policy Debate.
The talk is moderated by Soho Discussion board director Gene Epstein.
