Should we worry about inequality in the future? The LSESU-UCL Economics Conference 2015 hosted an all-new Debate segment for the Conference. Tying in line with our 'Futures' theme, we are excited to unveil that the motion of the debate this year will be "We do not need to worry about future inequality", with Christopher Snowdon as the proposition and Stewart Lansley as the opposition, chaired by Dr Margot Salomon. Chris Snowdon is an author and freelance journalist based in the UK. He writes for Sp!ked and other publications. He is also a research fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs. Stewart Lansley is an economist and financial journalist. He is a visiting fellow at the University of Bristol, and has written widely on poverty, inequality and wealth. Dr Margot Salomon is Associate Professor in the Law Department and the Centre for the Study of Human Rights, London School of Economics, where she directs the Laboratory for Advanced Research on the Global Economy.
