Cutting capitalism down to size: Adam Smith, entrepreneurship and a new pathway to a fairer and sustainable economy

Past Event: Monday 28th October 2024

In this event the University of Edinburgh Business School, in partnership with the David Hume Institute, welcomed Dr Samuel Mwaura to discuss the neglected debate of profit at the expense of society and ask the question: do we need to cut capitalism down to size for a new pathway to a fairer and sustainable economy?

We were joined by Dr Robbie Mochrie, author of How to think like an economist and Fran van Dijk, founder and CEO of One Stone Advisors, a sustainability consultancy. One Stone is Scotland's first B Corp: a certified company that meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
