Join us on Monday evening, June 2nd for an exclusive conversation with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and French economist Thomas Piketty. Warren and Piketty both authored books on economic inequality that have vaulted to the top of the Amazon and New York Times best seller lists.
A Fighting Chance, by Warren, and Piketty's
Capital In The 21st Century have fueled a sense that a new economic populism may be gaining broad public support in the face of a flagging economy and yawning economic inequality.
