Capitalism & Morality 2020 was scheduled to take place in Vancouver on Saturday, 25 July 2020, but the seminar was canceled 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, postmodernism, higher education, Latin America, religion, literature, moral behaviour, and political institutions.
Scheduled speakers and moderators included Christopher Lingle, Jeff Deist, Michael Roberts, Marwood Dent, José Alberto Niño, Albert Lu, Rick Rule, Lilija Valis, Daniel Lu, Doug Casey, Brian Leni, and me.
This page preserves the proposed program as part of the historical archive of Capitalism & Morality.
