The pandemic currently afflicting society exposes—and exacerbates—something that has always been present: the enormous inequalities that affect the lives of millions of people worldwide. COVID-19 has revealed the vast inequality both between and within countries. Lecturer, anthropologist and economist Jason Hickel examines the fragile social safety nets and the limitations of public policies.
