AN INTRODUCTION TO BETTER CAPITALISM: YOU ARE RIGHT! THERE IS A BETTER WAY!
Presenters: Paul Knowlton & Aaron Hedges

At some point you have looked up from a business-related task, paused before your head exploded, and thought, “There has got to be a better way!” Here it is. With this seminar, you will see that capitalism reinvents itself and that a post-pandemic reinvention with the principles of Partnership Economics leads to a more profitable and ethical form of capitalism that is that better way.
