LawTalk Episode 61 - The Gender Wealth Gap: A Conversation on "Fair Shake"
Welcome to LawTalk, a podcast series produced by the University of Minnesota Law School featuring events, webinars, and panel discussions about diverse topics at the intersection of law, policy, and education.
In this episode, The Gender Wealth Gap: A Conversation on "Fair Shake", Professor Clair Hill hosts a conversation with Professor June Carbone about her latest book, Fair Shake: Women and the Economy of Inequality.
In an era of shifting corporate dynamics, this interview examines how the modern legal and economic landscape—defined by "winner-take-all" competition—continues to disadvantage women and stall progress toward true equity. The discussion will delve into the systemic barriers embedded in our markets and the legal reforms necessary to ensure a "fair shake" for everyone.
