What We Do

We have an opportunity to envision a bright future.

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.

We research the attitudes of younger generations towards capitalism and democracy and support explorations of capitalism from interdisciplinary perspectives.

We create courses and experiences, providing Wake Forest students proficiency in understanding how different disciplines explore and craft perspectives on capitalism.

We host conferences and events for business leaders seeking to understand intergenerational views about capitalism’s future and role in society and its ability to solve complex environmental, human health, and education issues.

Environment

How might we mitigate current crises and ethically manage and protect the natural world yet support global development?

Human Health

How might we manage technology, innovation, and accessibility of resources to sustain a healthy, growing world population?

Education

How might we realign education and markets to provide equitable opportunities for individuals to secure a good future?

Systems

How might we re-evaluate business, community, and government systems to foster individual creative potential and prosperity?
