Occupy Rousseau: Inequality and Social Justice

What would Jean-Jacques Rousseau say about our democracies if he were among us today? Distinguished intellectuals, political leaders, activists, and artists from both Geneva and the U.S. join forces to ask that question, in an evening of discussions, debates, readings, and reflections. Participants include Benjamin Barber, Pascal Couchepin, Guillaume Chenevière, Laura Flanders, Victor Gourevitch, Amin Hussein, Tom Kean, Nannerl Keohane, Khalil GIbran Mohammad, Simon Schama, and Eliot Spitzer.
