Introduction

The last Masterclass for Fundación Ramón Areces of 2016 will focus on the inequality and the reasons why it's happening, as well as its consequences. Throughout the three days, participants will examine inequalities through a lens which places national specificity in a wider international frame to understand its impact on individuals, society and the economy. The first day will focus on inequality and the contemporary capitalism. It'll debate which ones are the elites in this new capitalism, and the opposite on precarity and austerity. The second day will focus on the political decentralization existing in the current political parties and how this can affect the society. To finalise the Masterclass, the final day will explore the new trends on inequality to fully understand where it is going, it'll focus on its drivers and causes why, and possible solutions.
