Tuesday, Feb. 18, "Inequality for All", hosted by Belk Library, takes a closer look at the vicious cycle most middle class Americans are facing with the current economic status. "This movie is critically important. It exposes the heart of our economic problem. Something that’s been getting worse and worse for over 30 years. Widening inequality."

For more information, click here, or veiw the trailer.

Film is followed by a brief panel discussion about income ineqaulity. 

Panel includes: 

Dr. Alan Singer -James Holshouser Distinguished Professor of Ethics at Appalachian

Dr. John Whitehead -Professor in the Department of Economics 

Dr. Hugh Hindmand -Professor of Labor & Human Resources

Christian Shelton – President, Appalachian Economics Club

Sponsor:  Office of Sustainability

Yikes. A few films ago the panel griped about economics. I had sent my senior seminar class and they thought it was unfair. I griped to the film series people and now I can't say no when they ask me to do it!

Any suggestions are appreciated!

    Good luck. You are going to be spending your time trying to dig out from a barrage.

    You do know the side of the political spectrum that Mr. Reich is on, I hope, and that their is another side of this story. Just look at Detroit and the two major auto companies where the “workers” had a big voice. Not that I don’t think the rich should not pay a higher percent tax but I don’t agree that they are the reason for lack of success of others.
    But good luck and try to keep it balanced.
