The Common Good and the Future of Capitalism Conference
Event Information
About this event
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."
This event is co-sponsored by The Carol and Lawrence Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Research at the Wharton School of Business and The Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy.

Organizer Collegium Institute
Organizer of The Common Good and the Future of Capitalism Conference
Founded by faculty, alumni, students, and friends of the University of Pennsylvania, the Collegium Institute is an independent scholarly foundation that draws academic learning into conversation with the Catholic intellectual tradition. In so doing, it cultivates reflection on "catholic" or universal questions and on the unity of truth across the disciplines.
