Poverty and Wealth disparity have become global issues, which present a growing threat to the world. Professor Thomas Piketty, a public intellectual and author of the best-selling book Capital in the Twenty-First Century (2013), offered thought-provoking views and novel ideas on the phenomena of rising inequality and globalisation, as well as their implications for wealth distribution at the lecture held on 5 October 2018.

The Lecture is jointly organised by The Education University of Hong Kong and Consulate General of France in Hong Kong & Macau, sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, and supported by the Academy of Hong Kong Studies, EdUHK.
