Friday, September 30,  6:00 PM at the John Haynes Holmes Community House, 28 East 35^th Street (Madison & Park)

We the People give privileges to organizations known as corporations so that our needs will be met. Has a relationship intended to be mutually beneficial, become one-sided? Do corporations have too much influence and control in our lives and in our politics?

In this interactive seminar we review the history of the corporation and its role in society. Many wise individuals, including Adam Smith, Henry George, and Theodore Roosevelt warned of the tendency to concentration of power and the dangers of all forms of monopoly. Have these warnings come true? What actions can be taken to restore balance in society’s relationships with corporations?
