Sponsored by:
Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs, History, Int'l Politics & Economics, Political Science, Religion, Charles P. Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life, and European Studies

Can democracy sustain itself while acquiescing in a growing gap between the world’s haves and have-nots? Does the American dream depend on a foundation of shared prosperity that is increasingly a historical artifact?
