Inequality is increasing around the world. What is the distinction between material and social inequality? Can we build a ‘society of equals’ even in the face of economic inequality? A panel discussion with:

• Professor Amy Bogaard, Professor of Neolithic and Bronze Age Archaeology, University of Oxford
• Sir Clive Cowdery, Founder and Chairman, The Resolution Group
• Professor Jonathan Wolff, Blavatnik Professor of Public Policy, Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford

In an increasingly unstable global political climate, governments around the world face greater challenges than ever. This year, the Challenges of Government Conference looks at the 'Future of Government', analysing how technological changes, new kinds of politics and different approaches to addressing inequality can be harnessed for the public good.

The Challenges of Government Conference is the Blavatnik School's annual flagship event, which brings together the brightest minds in government, the private sector and academia to discuss policies, strategies and solutions to the world’s public policy challenges.
