The Marschak talk scheduled for January 28 has been postponed due to the fires in Los Angeles. A new date for the program will be coordinated and announced when possible. Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe.
Presented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences
Speaker: Charles Kurzman, professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Why are citizens of some countries so much richer, on average, than citizens of other countries? Citizenship itself may be one of the key explanations. At the same time as new methods of extraction and productivity have generated vast wealth over the last two centuries, countries have hoarded this wealth by discriminating against non-citizens, limiting political rights and economic claims and reshaping inequality on a global scale.
This talk is offered both in person and online. Light refreshments will be served.
