Confidence in Capitalism
Given the watershed moment caused by the pandemic, the Center for the Study of Capitalism has initiated a multi-year survey in partnership with YouGov to examine the range of conflict concerning the values of capitalism and democracy in the United States. Americans hold complex and conflicting views about their expectations for individual economic and political freedom and the way economics and politics should work at the systems level. The Confidence in Capitalism survey identifies how and why capitalism and democracy may be in conflict among Millennials and Gen Z and explores what younger people expect from business and government. What can business leaders learn from this data? Drs. Christina Elson and Kylie King regularly publish brief, insightful articles on Substack. There is no cost to subscribe.
