"In this compelling dialogue, two of the world's most influential thinkers reflect on the value of equality and debate what citizens and governments should do to narrow the gaps that separate us. Ranging across economics, philosophy, history, and current affairs, Thomas Piketty and Michael Sandel consider how far we have come in achieving greater equality. At the same time, they confront head-on the extreme divides that remain in wealth, income, power, and status nationally and globally."--

Thomas Piketty is Professor of Economics at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales.
Michael J. Sandel is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government at Harvard University.
