Capitalism & Morality 2021 was scheduled to take place in Vancouver on Saturday, 31 July 2021, but the seminar was cancelled because of COVID restrictions.

The planned program would have brought together philosophers, investors, writers, entrepreneurs, and advocates of individual liberty for discussions about markets and government, higher education, postmodernism, systemic racism, religion, global peace, wealth, literature, and political institutions.

Scheduled speakers and participants included Christopher Lingle, Jeff Deist, Michael Roberts, Marwood Dent, Marc J. Victor, Rick Rule, Frank Raymond, Lilija Valis, Daniel Lu, Doug Casey, and me.

This page preserves the proposed program as part of the historical archive of Capitalism & Morality.
