Abstract: A philosopher and an economic historian collaborated on a concise publication documenting their conversation held at the Paris School of Economics on May 20, 2024 . This work extensively explores the discipline of economics, which is about the distribution of income and wealth prioritizing central themes such as monetary systems, market dynamics, globalization, and fiscal policy. The economic dimension is complemented with the political one, about voice and power and participation, traversing philosophical reflection, to create a highly enlightening conversation that is captivating due to its argumentative force in laying out the basic framework to think about why equality matters.
