Hoe kunnen bedrijven bijdragen aan het goede leven?

<p>On designing markets that stimulate the common good as a purpose, with Rebecca Henderson and Colin Mayer.</p>
<p>As we are pondering whether Europe can develop its own type of market economy, a crucial question is what the role of businesses will be. And subsequently, what type of market order is needed to allow businesses that want to be a force for good to function properly. How can they be stimulated while other types of business may be discouraged? Or is it all up to the morally inspired entrepreneurs themselves?</p>
<p>In collaboration with VU Amsterdam, Moral Markets group and Pakhuis de Zwijger, De Nieuwe Wereld proudly present this series on the future of capitalism. Over the course of ten dialogues David van Overbeek (De Nieuwe Wereld) and Natasja van den Berg (Pakhuis de Zwijger) will consult world-renowned economists and thinkers, and explore the tension between how our economic system currently functions and how it should function.</p>
