About this Event

Everywhere you turn, Americans are getting ripped off: Online ticket sellers hide behind exorbitant extra fees. Landlords use software to band together and organize artificial rent hikes. Surveillance pricing, algorithmic price fixing, and other high-tech forms of price gouging are the latest frontiers in corporate profiteering, and they’re distorting markets and undermining American households’ financial security.

Building on her new book Gouged: The End of a Fair Price—And What That Means for Your Wallet, this conversation explores the modern landscape of predatory pricing and corporate profit-seeking.


Lunch will be provided.
