Inequality in wealth: How to prevent increasing inequality in society?

High prices, exploding energy costs and an inflation rate of 11.2%, which reached its highest level in 70 years in Austria in January 2023. Life is getting more and more expensive, and no social class seems to be spared by now. Now the critical question arises as to how consumers are still to shoulder the rising costs and how can a further drifting apart of the classes be prevented? PULS 24 host Gundula Geiginger will be joined by Anna Parr (Secretary General of Caritas Austria), Beate Meinl-Reisinger (Chairwoman of NEOS), Claudia Plakolm (State Secretary for Youth & Civilian Service), Hanno Lorenz (Deputy Director of Agenda Austria), NIna Sophie Fritsch (Researcher at the Vienna University of Economics and Business) and Barbara Kauffmann (Director of Employment and Social Policy).
