Capitalism often gets a bad rap, but is it still the best system we have for creating wealth and reducing inequality? This session will present a case for capitalism’s ability to drive prosperity and improve lives, despite its flaws. We’ll explore how capitalist principles—when managed responsibly—can promote innovation, elevate living standards, and create more equal societies. From the role of markets to the importance of competition, this event will challenge the critics and offer a fresh defence of capitalism’s potential to make the world richer and more equal.
Rory Sutherland, Edward Chancellor, Peter Antonioni, Angelica Oung
