Business and Society: Capitalism Today

ClassACT HR73 invites you to join us on Thursday, May 2, 7:00-8:30pm EDT for Business and Society: Capitalism Today. Capitalism has been a remarkable engine for growth and development, creating massive wealth, significant increases in productivity, and powerful new technologies.We should not assume, though, that capitalism will last forever, or always be the world’s primary economic system. Wealth and healthcare inequality, climate change, old age and retirement issues are now often associated with capitalism. Can markets, governmental referees, and civil society actors ensure the system continues to benefit us all?

Focusing on businesses large and small, including the energy and tech sectors, panelists Roger Ferguson ’73, Howard Keenan ’73, Nick Sakellariadis ’73 and Gwill York ’79, led by moderator Leigh Hafrey ’73, will explore these issues in their global and cultural context.
