Debates about income inequality are everywhere. Yet the conventional wisdom in Law and Economics is that legal rules should be designed exclusively to promote efficiency, with income redistribution left to the tax system.
Join Professor Jacob Goldin in the 2025 Coase Lecture as he discusses when the conventional wisdom is correct as well as when it is not.
