Gabriel Zucman Book Launch 2026

Gabriel Zucman is a Professor of Economics at the Paris School of Economics and the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the world’s leading experts on inequality and global wealth. In this public lecture and book launch, he will explore why extreme wealth has grown so rapidly in recent decades and how existing economic rules allow it to remain highly concentrated.

Drawing on his latest work, Zucman will examine the hidden frameworks that shape how wealth is accumulated, protected, and governed, even as public services face increasing pressure. The lecture will consider what a fairer economic system could look like, the policy choices involved, and why the current moment creates a real opportunity for change. This event will appeal to anyone interested in inequality, public policy, and the future of economic progresss.
