With the dominance of shareholder primacy, economic inequality in the United States has increased, the gendered wage gap for college graduates has risen steadily since the mid-nineties, African-American and LatinX men have largely been left out of the increases in male wages at the top, and African-American and LatinX women have remained marginalized at the bottom of the income hierarchy. Are these trends related and if so, what can be done about them? This panel discussion will examine the the links between corporate governance, corporate finance, and racial and gender inequality in American society.
