Can one be both an ethical person and an effective business person? Has business lost its moral moorings? How do we reconcile the demands of global capitalism with both the common good and our own spiritual and psychological needs as individuals? In an increasingly interconnected world dominated by market forces, how are we to think about questions of right and wrong?
These are some of the profound issues explored by Stephen Green, an ordained clergyman and Group Chairman of one of the world’s largest banks, in an important and provocative new book: Good Value: Reflections on Money, Morality, and an Uncertain World.
Join Asia Society President Vishakha N. Desai for a conversation with Stephen Green about the book and why he believes we now have the opportunity to remake capitalism while also helping the less fortunate and finding meaning in our own lives.
Please note: this event will be a free live video webcast from 6:30 to 8:00 pm EST. Online viewers are encouraged to submit their questions to moderator@asiasociety.org.
