Why Rich People Cheat, and Why We Let Them (Badger Talks)
Who gets to break the rules, and who has to follow them? In this talk, Dr. Jessica Calarco will reveal why people from more privileged backgrounds are more likely to try to get around the rules and why institutions–including education, healthcare, legal, financial, and policy systems–tend to look the other way, even when privileged rule-breaking exacerbates inequalities in society as a whole.
