Global Free Enterprise as a Morality Play: the Challenge of Endemic Poverty

Venue: Prest Theatre, FBE Building

Presenters: Professor Emeritus Patricia H. Werhane

Industrial and post-industrial free enterprise has been extraordinarily successful at raising living standards for most people living in those communities. Despite the consensus that abject poverty is morally unacceptable, post-industrial free enterprise has not been as successful in reducing poverty either in industrialized nations or globally.

Professor Emeritus Patricia H. Werhane will argue that poverty can be dramatically reduced, both locally and globally, but only if we change our mind sets about the poor, and only if we introduce new forms of capitalism to address cultural and economic differences.
