About A Meeting of the Minds: Business and the Human:
What is the relationship between the business world’s calculations of value and profit and the humanistic concerns of the markets and societies within which they necessarily operate? How do business and the human interact, shape each other, place limitations, and open possibilities?
In the series of discussions entitled A Meeting of the Minds: Business and the Human, the University of Chicago brings together faculty from Chicago Booth and from the humanities and related fields such as politics, law, and psychology, to explore how commonalities and differences in these separate spheres can lead us to a richer grasp of how business and the human interact, shape each other, and open possibilities.
The University of Chicago discussions on A Meeting of the Minds: Business and the Human are sponsored by the Booth School of Business and the Stevanovich Institute on the Formation of Knowledge.
