TPL and Toronto Metropolitan University present Serbian-American economist and Senior Scholar at the City University in New York, Branko Milanovic, in conversation with Sanjay Ruparelia at the Toronto Reference Library's Appel Salon.

As a leading economist best known for his work on income distribution and inequality, Branko Milanovic holds a profound understanding of how economic theory and history are intertwined.
