THE PRICE OF INEQUALITY How Today's Divided Society Endangers Our Future

Paul Boehmer’s deep but gentle tone provides a comforting voice for the harsh realities that Stiglitz reveals in his account of contemporary inequality. Stiglitz offers a methodical and impressive breakdown of the ways in which the current exploitations of capitalism have created and exacerbate inequality throughout the world. Boehmer’s emphasis helps navigate the various nuanced arguments and extensive details. More importantly, Boehmer knows how to project the key sentences of every paragraph, bringing home Stiglitz’s point and giving the listener its full weight. While at times, Boehmer’s deliberateness eases the inundation of information and the complexity of the argument, listeners may still find themselves re-listening to some sections.
