The fight against global inequality was one of the founding principles of the institutions created at Bretton Woods. Seventy years later, what can we say about their ability to help reduce economic disparities in the world?

As a part of the Trento Economics Festival 2015 in Trento, Italy, CIGI Senior Fellow James Boughton's CIGI sponsored lecture will address the question, "Can the International Monetary Fund Reduce Global Inequality?" He will be introduced by Radiofonica Journalist Pietro Del Soldà.
