November 12 - Can Democracy and Capitalism Coexist?
Democratic capitalism is under siege. Yet the relationship between free markets and democracy, long viewed as a foundational feature of American political life, has often been highly contentious. Today, old challenges like political polarization, rising market concentration, racial and ethnic battles over identity, and vast gaps between rich and poor are exacerbated by new circumstances. This event will feature three scholars of politics, history, and law who will consider the opportunities and perils of reimagining democratic capitalism.
