The first Paris Summit Against International Oligarchy brings together economists, researchers, political leaders, journalists, trade unionists and activists from around the world at the Théâtre de la Concorde to share their analyses and develop concrete proposals for action.
Among the participants: Joseph Stiglitz, Esther Duflo, Paul Krugman, Gabriel Zucman, Julia Cagé, Thomas Piketty, Jayati Ghosh, Pierre Rosanvallon, Isabella Weber, Naomi Klein, Sophie Binet, Abigail Disney, Marlene Engelhorn and Gary Stevenson.
The day is structured around three Plenary Debates focusing on three areas at the heart of the concentration of power:
- AI — For Universal Ownership of Knowledge, exploring the ownership and sharing of knowledge;
- Media — Freeing Public Debate from the Grip of Billionaires, examining the conditions needed for an independent and pluralistic public sphere; and Tax
- Fighting the Secession of the Ultra-Rich, exploring ways to tackle the extreme concentration of wealth.
Alongside these three central debates, the Summit will take over the entire Théâtre de la Concorde with roundtables and discussions, screenings, exchanges with the public, a bookshop and book signings.
