Dr Jonathan Mijs is a Dutch sociologist who earned his PhD at Harvard University and is currently teaching at Boston University. His research describes the beliefs people hold about economic inequality, its causes and political consequences. It especially highlights the process through which citizens - especially young ones - learn about inequality and come to make sense of poverty and wealth.
His works have been featured in The Guardian, The Washington Post, Financial Times, Harvard Business Review, The Independent and a myriad of scientific journals.
In this episode we're trying to dissect the many reasons why it's so hard for us to believe that inequality is mostly undeserved, and what we can do about that.
