SUMMARY:The harms of extreme wealth: launching the evidence review
LOCATION:London School of Economics: In-person and online public event (Ma
 laysia Auditorium\, Centre Building)
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 3 November 2026 6.30pm - 8pmSpeakersProfessor Tania Bu
 rchardtSunil KapurChairProfessor Francisco H. G. FerreiraHow much wealth i
 s too much? Should it be possible for trillionaires to exist? And what are
  the consequences for the rest of society?Growing attention is being paid 
 to the idea of an extreme wealth line: a threshold beyond which the concen
 tration of wealth may cause undue harm to democracy\, the economy\, societ
 y and the environment. While it is now widely accepted that extreme wealth
  concentration can have damaging effects\, there is less agreement about t
 he point at which those harms become significant enough to warrant interve
 ntion.This event marks the launch of a new Evidence Review on the Harms of
  Extreme Wealth. Bringing together insights from the latest research\, the
  review examines what research across political science\, economics and so
 ciology tells us about how extreme wealth causes harm\, and whether the ev
 idence identifies ‘tipping points’ that could inform the setting of an
  extreme wealth line.Meet our speakers and chairTania Burchardt is Associa
 te Director of the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE) and a Pr
 ofessor in the Department of Social Policy at LSE.Sunil Kapur has been a m
