"What do we do about inequality?" looks at rampant and growing disparities , and looks to help the reader understand these problems from new perspectives, while also offering ideas towards creating more just, sustainable outcomes. Contributions from a diverse group of contributors, including: academics, activists, artists, business & NGO leaders, economists, and journalists offer the reader an array of perspectives from which to help reformulate their own.
Wicked problems are the massive, intractable issues which tend to defy solutions, or even definition. They’re interconnected and systemic, so attempts to affect change often ripple through in unexpected ways. The Wicked Problems Collaborative was formed to help move these discussions forward toward real progress.
