$Engines of Inequality? Elites, Power and Politics Today, the richest 1% of the population holds half of the world’s wealth. How did we arrive at this alarming state of affairs? What kinds of fractures has this extreme concentration of wealth wrought, be they economic, political, cultural, social, spatial, or environmental? And what space is there for progressive change in a context where those in power act to preserve the systems from which they benefit? Naila Kabeer (London School of Economics), Saskia Sassen (Columbia University) and Jomo Kwame Sundaram (Council of Eminent Persons, Malaysia) had a conversation with Imogen Foulkes (BBC Geneva Correspondent) to discuss the growing influence of elite power, the deepening of global inequalities and emerging forms of resistance. Engines of Inequality? Elites, Power and Politics, co-hosted by the University of Geneva, was the opening roundtable for the UNRISD International Conference Overcoming Inequalities in a Fractured World: Between Elite Power and Social Mobilization. UNRISD International Conference is a forum for analysis and dialogue that brought together academics, UN representatives, policy makers and civil society. learn more: http://www.unrisd.org/conference2018$
