Recent social movements and protests reveal an increasing level of popular concern about building a more economically just society. Yet there is little agreement about how to accomplish this goal. This conference seeks to bring together business leaders, bankers, academics, justice advocates, policy makers, legal professionals, politicians, and those working in the not-for-profit sector to discuss the issues we face as well as hopeful solutions.
