Making a reality of Inclusive Growth: a keynote lecture with Nobel Laureate Prof Joseph Stiglitz

The APPG on Inclusive Growth together with the Resolution Foundation presents: 

Making a reality of Inclusive Growth: a keynote lecture with Nobel Laureate Prof Joseph Stiglitz

How do we make a reality of inclusive growth? Where are the points of consensus and contention? Against a backdrop of record employment but weak wage growth, the emerging opportunities and challenges of the digital economy, and ever-higher house prices, inclusive growth is an appealing idea. But for those wanting to reduce inequality, what would it mean in practise? And how do we agree on a plan to move forward?

At this All Party Parliamentary Group on Inclusive Growth Distinguished Speaker Series event, Resolution Foundation hosted a lecture from Nobel Prize winning Economist Professor Joseph Stiglitz together with an overview of the UK situation from Torsten Bell, Director of the Resolution Foundation and a response from Rain Newton-Smith, Director of Economics at the CBI.
