• April 2021

Is it possible to eradicate poverty and inequality? To Bruce Boghosian, creating a more equitable society is not only possible, it is provable. In his talk, Bruce unveils the origins, assumptions, and unsustainable trajectory of our current economic system. Drawing from a vast well of mathematical knowledge, he makes the case for why a new, radical system of wealth redistribution is not only mathematically sustainable, it is the key for creating a fundamentally more equitable society.
