What is capitalism? One of humanity’s greatest inventions, and the greatest source of prosperity the world has ever seen? A menace on the verge of destroying the planet and destabilizing society? Or some combination of the two? Should capitalism be reformed or revolutionized? We need a systemic way to think through these questions. Are the systems that we currently use to govern the activities of private corporations still adequate in the face of the enormous problems we face? What kinds of reform might enable capitalism to overcome these problems? If revolution is needed, what should replace it? And whether the path is reform or revolution, how do we get from here to there, given the enormous pressures that corporations are under every day? In this symposium, we propose to discuss these issues from a number of contrasting perspectives.
