capitalism 2.0: How Can Entrepreneurs Hijack Capitalism Back From The Speculators?Thursday, January 19, 2012
Capitalism has been hijacked by Speculators, and a dysfunctional medley of privatized profits, socialized losses, bail-outs and unbridled greed has corrupted the system. The need for a system that emphasizes and incentives value creators is acute at this hour. Entrepreneurs, innovators – the true leaders of the form of Capitalism that can build an economically healthy global order – need to step up and hijack the system back.
In this session, Sramana Mitra will facilitate a stimulating discussion on issues such as:
- What is the definition of Entrepreneurship in Capitalism 2.0?
- What role does Capital play?
- How can we address the dysfunctions of a ‘fortune at the top of the pyramid’ society and broaden the fruits of Capitalism?
- How does Talent get channeled to the right professions, instead of a mad rush to Wall Street?
- Does Government have any role in Capitalism 2.0?
- What Tax Policy would facilitate the mass rise of entrepreneurship?
And many more.
