The Zurich Salon is proud to be hosting a Battle of Ideas Satellite Debate on the topic of Woke Capitalism on the 10th of November at the Karl der Grosse.

Come along to hear our two speakers, Dr. Nikos Sotirakopoulos from the Ayn Rand Institute and the philosopher Elena Louisa Lange. We’ll be debating the merits and demerits of woke capitalism and asking what diversity and inclusion entails, whether this is good for profitability or if higher values come first. So, we’ll be covering everything, from Bud Light’s disastrous partnership with Dylan Mulvaney to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies. What does this mean for those of us who live and work in Switzerland and for the future of capitalism?

Get your tickets here. 

Best wishes from your Salon team

Andrea & Gabriele
