Francesco Duina

Francesco Duina and Luca Storti discuss the rise of inequalities globally since 1970 and the acceptance of wealth gaps. They explore the concept of meritocracy and how it justifies economic inequality, comparing attitudes in the US and Europe. The conversation delves into societal acceptance of inequalities and the diverse logics used to justify them, including market economics and cultural norms. They also examine the paradox of meritocracy and its role in perpetuating inherited privilege and economic disparities.
