The Center for the Study of Capitalism works with businesspeople, communicators, researchers, students, faculty scholars, thought-leaders, advisors, and visionaries to foster a better understanding of capitalism and its role in a fast-changing, technologically driven world. The CSC is currently:
-
- Researching the attitudes of younger generations towards capitalism and democracy and supporting explorations of capitalism from interdisciplinary perspectives.
- Creating courses and experiences providing Wake Forest students proficiency in understanding how different disciplines explore and craft perspectives on capitalism.
- Working with business leaders seeking to understand intergenerational views about capitalism’s future and role in society and its ability to solve complex issues including those related to the environment, human health, and education.
