Lecture and debate

Like the climate debate, the debate around sustainable pensions has a distinctly intergenerational character. It is sometimes suggested that there will be nothing left for future generations and that it is ultimately everyone for themselves. In his new book 'How to pool risks across generations', political philosopher Michael Otsuka advocates collective pensions as the best guarantee of intergenerational justice. This seminar in collaboration with RIPPLE and Chair Hoover will explore the question of intergenerational justice in the context of the pension issue and Otsuka will introduce his new book. Axel Gosseries (UCL) and Erik Schokkaert (KU Leuven) will join him in discussion.

Michael Otsuka is Herman Van der Wee fellow at LIAS.
