How do we build shared prosperity? What is “Conscious Capitalism” and what role does it have to play? Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez believes both will help give more power to working people in America and fix an economy out of balance. Join the IOP as it hosts Secretary Perez, a civil rights lawyer and a member of President Obama’s cabinet, for a conversation about the principles of shared prosperity and his vision for an economy that works for everyone: a higher minimum wage; expanded equal pay and overtime protections; investments in voting rights and our infrastructure of democracy; promoting businesses that believe in serving not just shareholders but also workers, customers, and communities.; and improving the quality of life in housing, transportation, education and health. The discussion will be moderated by Chicago Booth Professor Hal Weitzman.
