Stanford economist (and 2006 UP alumnus) Adam Bonica will explore possible reasons why the U.S. political system has failed to counterbalance rising inequality: among them ideological shifts, deregulation of certain key industries, voter turnouts, and increasing political gridlock. The lecture will be held at 7:15 p.m., Tuesday, November 11, in the executive boardroom of the Bauccio Commons. Bonica has served on a number of key policy roundtables, including Princeton’s Center for Democratic Politics, prior to his appointment at Stanford, and has also provided celebrity statistician Nate Silver with key data.
