Ne abbiamo parlato presentando “Non è giusta. L’Italia delle disuguaglianze” (Laterza) e “La disuguaglianza oltre i luoghi comuni” (Castelvecchi) al dipartimento di Giurisprudenza di Roma Tre. Grazie a Michele Franzini, Elena Granaglia, Giulia Mancini, Michele Raitano e Francesca Subioli.
@morellisal.bsky.social · 4mo agoNel dibattito pubblico troppi luoghi comuni semplificano un fenomeno complesso come la disuguaglianza. Di solito per sostenere che non è un problema oppure che sarebbe meglio occuparsi di altre cose ben + importanti (crescita, povertà, mobiità ...) Ma è davvero così? Cosa ci raccontano i fatti?

La disuguaglianza economica è inevitabile? Quanto pesa sulle possibilità di successo di ognuno di noi? È vero che serve alla crescita? Ne parliamo il 26 maggio al Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza di Roma Tre con autori e autrici di due libri sulle disuguaglianze. Prenotazione consigliata 👇👇👇
