About This Event

Paul Johnson , former director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, and barrister and author Hashi Mohamed come together for an accessible and thought-provoking conversation about inequality and why it continues to affect us all. As living standards, opportunity and trust in public life come under pressure, questions about fairness feel more urgent than ever. From housing and work to education, wealth and social mobility, they consider why the gap between generations and communities has grown, how economic change is affecting everyday people and what practical steps might help build a fairer society. There will be a book signing after this event.
