Opportunity and Race: The Role Of Capitalism: Glenn Loury, Jason Riley, and Rafael Mangual

Hosted by MIT Sloan, BU Questrom, and Dartmouth Tuck Adam Smith Society Chapters

How should we understand the racial wealth gap: What is its cause, and what does it say about opportunity within capitalism? Does the answer to the wealth gap lie in greater market competition, or government remediation? Join the Adam Smith Society for a probing conversation between leading experts on the racial wealth gap and economic mobility of minority communities, to examine both causes and solutions, and how today's situation and our nation's history shed light on the capitalist economic system.
