Stone Inequality Initiative

Resources

Syllabus Bank

The Stone Initiative syllabus bank fosters and improves university-level courses on inequalities, especially those that incorporate attention to great wealth. More

Research

The work of the initiative centers on three questions: What does inequality look like today? More important, what does terrific wealth do to the United States – how does it affect our politics, our society, our culture, our sense of public interest and shared fate? How does it interact with longstanding racial and gender inequalities? And –perhaps the most vital question-- how do Gilded Ages end?
