Capitalism is threatened by stagnant wages, the fear of recession, and a growing sense that the economy is “rigged” in favor of the rich.  Where lies its future? Can capitalism be ordered to the common good? Is the field of finance part of the problem or the solution?

The Collegium Institute is bringing together leading scholars and practitioners in the fields of finance, ethics, and theology for our conference on "The Common Good and the Future of Capitalism."

Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations

Payday Lending and the Underbanked

Financial Markets and the Common Good
