Capitalism – One Size Fits All?

The word capitalism lends itself to broad generalizations that highlight the importance of private property and free markets as the supreme arbitor of economic outcomes. However, national trajectories give form to many varieties, suggesting that history and culture do play a major role in shaping markets and organizing society.

In this seminar, Michael Bucher explores national variations in the practice of capitalism, and examines successes and failures in maximizing progress and minimizing poverty.

Michael Bucher is a freelance researcher/writer who has written for the Shanghai Business Review, on topics in business, trade, and international relations relating to China. He has presented lectures at HGSSS on China’s Silk Road Project, Public Banking and German Mittelstand, and is now focused on the topic of Comparative Capitalism, a new series looking at cross-country variations of modern Capitalism.

    Join City Limits and the Henry George School of Social Science for a panel discussion on New York’s rent-regulation system.

    When the state legislature in June passed historic reforms of New York’s rent-regulation system, tenants hailed a victory and property owners bemoaned a disaster. Now that the shouting has faded, the city will start to get a look at what the policy actually means for renters, landlords and neighborhoods. Are tenants able to access the rights and resources the law made available? Are property owners feeling the pain or learning to cope? Are public agencies doing their job to make the new law work well? And what impact will the law have on affordability in New York?

    Moderated by City Limits’ Executive Editor, Jarrett Murphy, our panel features:

    • Carmen Vega-Rivera, Tenant Leader for Community Action for Safe Apartments
    • Denise Favorule, Board Member of the Henry George School of Social Science and Associate RE Broker for the Corcoran Group
    • Frank Ricci, Director of Government Affairs for the Rent Stabilization Association
    • Tom Waters,Housing Policy Analyst for the Community Service Society of New York

    Event attendees will also receive City Limits’ newsletters.
