Wealth, poverty, unfairness: from theory to action

​Wealth inequality is high, poverty is deep, and the experience of this unfairness is disrupting politics and democracy itself. So what can we do? We hear emergent philosophical and campaigning perspectives on aspects of wealth inequality, poverty and fairness. What does a fairer society look like, why does it matter, and how can we make it a reality?
