Ethical Capitalism? 

Wednesday, 7th December, 7.30pm – 9.30pm (Doors open 7pm)

The Oasis Centre, 75 Westminster Bridge Road, SE1 7HS

The protests at St Paul’s Cathedral have definitely raised the profile of the need to talk seriously about the future of capitalism. Does capitalism need reforming, replacing or is it fine just as it is? Join us as we debate the question of our generation. 

The event will be a platform for informed debate around the financial and moral questions raised by recent protests and world events.

Contributors include:

Occupy London

The ongoing protest at St Paul’s against economic inequality, social injustice and corporate greed.

“While the City focuses on a little piece of land, Occupy is concerned with creating a more just society”

Ken Costa

Former investment banker appointed by the Bishop of London to head the St Paul's Initiative, tasked with addressing the concerns about capitalism and mediating between the banking industry and its critics

"The cure is not more legislation, or increased regulation. It is the pressing need to reconnect the financial with the ethical."

Dr. Luke Bretherton

Reader in Theology & Politics at King's College London. Luke is actively involved in local politics as part of Citizens UK, and has undertaken advisory roles for government on the relationship between community organising and strengthening civil society.

“The current financial crisis heralds the end of one time and the transition to another, the question we should all be asking ourselves is 'Whose vision will guide our future?'”
