A Shrinking Universe: How Coporate Power Shapes Inequality

A presentation by Jordan Brennan

 

‘Economic inequality’ has recently appeared on the public radar in North America, but much of the attention has been confined to its ominously high level and its socially corrosive impact. The long-term drivers of inequality, by contrast, have attracted less attention. This presentation will explore the linkages between corporate power and inequality, arguing that both the level and pattern of inequality in Canada closely shadow the differential power of capital.

 

This presentation is the second in a four-part Speaker Series on the Capitalist Mode of Power, which is organized by capitalaspower.com and sponsored by the York Department of Political Science and the Graduate Programme in Social and Political Thought.

 

Refreshments will be served and all are welcome.

 

Jordan Brennan is a PhD student at the Department of Political Science, York University (jbrennan79@sympatico.ca) and an economist with UNIFOR.
