ECONOMIC INEQUALITY
ISN'T NEW. But this spring it became trendy, especially after Pope Francis
dropped the tweet heard ’round the world in April: “Inequality is the root of social
evil.”Around the same time, Capital in the Twenty-First Century—a
just-short-of-700-page book by French economist Thomas Piketty—became a best
seller. Piketty, while not quite as concise as the pope, also sees wealth
inequality as a problem—he focuses on its damaging effects on democratic
institutions. Using extensive data, Piketty makes the case that escalating
wealth inequality is built into
capitalism.

rise by 1-metre by 2100(1), putting housing, transportation and ecosystems at
major risk while causing significant economic losses(2).
This
September, SFU Public Square will launch an open ideas competition to address
sea level rise in Metro Vancouver as part of their 2014 Community Summit.
RISE
will provide the platform for people in Metro Vancouver communities to develop
innovative ideas that ensure we adapt and thrive – faster than the waters that
surround us.
