How To Make Capitalism Better: Conclusions from the Tomorrow's Capitalism programme
Article
This paper summarises the findings of the Tomorrow's Capitalism programme, organised by ippr in conjunction with Friends Provident Foundation in 2009 with the aim of exploring the future of our financial and economic system.
To do this, we presented a series of debates, seminars and papers featuring leading experts and thinkers from the world of economics, business, politics and the media. The result was a deeper understanding of the flaws inherent in the neo-liberal model of capitalism and the steps needed to correct them, together with a vision of some of the key features of 'tomorrow's capitalism' and the challenges facing policymakers as they seek to improve the current economic and financial model.
A synthesis of this understanding, derived partly from the debates and reports, is provided in this final paper. It does not attempt to cover all the terrain under this vast topic although it does draw some important conclusions.
