Over 500 Economists Urge G20 to Create Global Inequality Panel

Over 500 Economists Urge G20 to Create Global Inequality Panel
More than 500 economists - including Nobel Laureates and former policymakers - have called on G20 leaders to set up an “International Panel on Inequality” modeled on the IPCC. Their open letter argues that rising concentration of wealth threatens democracy, economic stability, and social trust. The panel would monitor global wealth trends, assess policies, and suggest reforms. 
This comes just ahead of the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Johannesburg, where inequality is a key priority.
