In our meetup in February 2025, we discussed the key ideas and theories behind capitalism, a system that has influenced globalisation, innovation, and wealth distribution. We examined how societies balance economic freedom with ethical responsibility, weigh the benefits of capitalism, and consider the risks of applying economic models to more areas of life.
The event featured a talk from Dan Stone, founder of The Philosophers' Yard and a graduate in Economics and Management. Dan explored some of the central theories of the free market, but also some ways these theories don’t capture reality.
