Rethinking Capitalism (ReCap) Webinar Series

A Capitalism for the People

by Luigi Zingales (University of Chicago Booth)

Monday 14 March 2022, 5pm (CET) - Online (ZOOM) from the University of Milano-Bicocca

Event Summary

In spite of its successes, capitalism is losing the hearts and minds of the new generation of Americans. It is
losing them not because there is a better alternative, but because of the disappointment the current system has
created. This disappointment is real. In the XXI century capitalism in the West has not produced a lot of wealth,
but a lot of inequality. To produce capitalism for the people, we need to focus on promoting competition over
protection of property rights.
