TNP: The Future of Capitalism
March 30, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
The Future of Capitalism: Navigating Global Crises and The Great Change of Our Time with John Fullerton, Founder and President, Capital Institute
We’re in precarious times. “We’re living amid interconnected economic, political, environmental, humanitarian crises and undergoing a Great Change comparable to The Enlightenment,” says John Fullerton, founder and president of Capital Institute, a Greenwich-based non-partisan think tank. Come hear how capitalism – particularly our obsession with GDP – got us here, and how we can transform our businesses to be profitable and build a just and sustainable future. Fullerton will discuss:
* How capitalism can be structured to move us toward a healthy financial system and human economy.
* Why action is urgent now as we enter the Anthropocene, the first time in history that human activity is the dominant influence on the condition of the environment globally.
* His own experiences working on Wall Street, why he walked away, and what he’s learned since.
A former managing director at JPMorgan, Fullerton left Wall Street in 2001, later founding Capital Institute to illuminate ways for financial systems to promote a more sustainable way of living on earth. Fullerton is a thought leader exploring the emergence of a new economy, and has been on Frontline and quoted in The New York Times, Bloomberg, and The Wall Street Journal. In addition, he was a member of the Greenwich-based Long Term Capital Oversight Committee that managed the $3.6 billion rescue of the distressed hedge fund in 1998 and he introduced the term Regenerative Capitalism upon the publication of his 2015 paper, “Regenerative Capitalism: How Universal Principles and Patterns Will Shape Our New Economy.” John received a BA in Economics from the University of Michigan, and an MBA from the Stern School of Business at NYU.
