A public talk asking how much wealth is too much and whether trillionaires should be able to exist. It launches a new Evidence Review on the Harms of Extreme Wealth, examining what research in political science, economics and sociology says about how extreme wealth causes harm and whether it points to tipping points for an extreme wealth line. It is hosted by the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics and Political Science, with speakers including Tania Burchardt, Sunil Kapur and Catherine West, chaired by Francisco H. G. Ferreira.
