Y'all. Usually we're pretty tame at PSW, but sometimes things snowball out of control.*

Is all the hullaballoo over economic inequality really class warfare? Will "economic fairness" be the defining issue of this election? Or is economic inequality just part of who we are?

TONIGHT, at 6:30 pm in Room 121, Daniel Markovits will present the attached paper, "Snowball Inequality," at this week's Progressive Scholarship Workshop.

Professor Markovits will challenge the notion that we've got two Americas: the capitalists and the justice-seekers. Come hear his intriguing thesis--that the roots and remedies of economic inequality can be found within capitalism itself--and give yourself a new perspective on an old debate that you won't get from more late nights with talking heads.

47% of you are probably already going to the FedSoc event tonight--but I hope to see the rest of you in SLB 121 at 6:30!

*As cute as this video is, there will be no Budweiser served at tonight's workshop. Just a disclaimer :)
