The Marschak talk scheduled for January 28 has been postponed due to the fires in Los Angeles. A new date for the program will be coordinated and announced when possible. Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe. Charles Kurzman, professor of sociology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Why are citizens of some countries so much richer, on average, than citizens of other countries? Citizenship itself may be one of the key explanations. At the same time as new methods of extraction and productivity have generated vast wealth over the last two centuries, countries have hoarded this wealth by discriminating against non-citizens, limiting political rights and economic claims and reshaping inequality on a global scale. This talk will be simultaneously offered online via Zoom webinar and in person at the Charles E. Young Research Library. Light refreshments will be served. The Marschak Colloquium speaker series is presented by the UCLA Library.
