Inequality and Economic Policy

Geof Woglom, PhD

Economics plays a central role in every aspect of

society. This course examines the causes and potential

solutions to inequality in the US from an economic

perspective. We will explore the history of different types

of inequality, the underlying data and evidence, and the

policy levers available to address these issues. Each

lecture, led by a subject matter expert with a PhD in

economics, will stand alone. Topics may include climate

change, healthcare economics, economic inequality,

economic mobility, discrimination in public policy, and

the wealth gap.
