Ethical Dimensions of the Global Economic Crisis
David Olive, Business and Current Affairs Columnist, Toronto Star
- Luncheon
- Tuesday, March, 6, 2012
- 12 noon until 2pm
- The Albany Club, 91 King Street East, Toronto
David Olive, business and current affairs columnist at the Toronto Star, speaks on the awesome power of a select few self-interested individuals to bring the world economy to its knees in the 2008 global financial meltdown that triggered the Great Recession from which North America is still recovering, and whose aftershocks are now pummelling European economies. Olive discusses the surprisingly half-hearted measures undertaken so far to prevent a recurrence, and Mark Carney's laudable efforts to reform the global financial system while continuing with his duties as Governor of the Bank of Canada.
Addressing Inequality
Edward Waitzer, Senior Partner, Stikeman Elliott LLP
- Luncheon
- Wednesday, May, 16, 2012
- 12 noon until 2pm
- The Albanby Club, 91 King Street East, Toronto
A generation from now we’re going to look back and wonder how our existing governance frameworks (public as well as private) lasted so long. Most agree that we need to find new models to collaboratively address global challenges. What emerges must focus on achieving better balance – e.g., between finance and the rest of the economy; between current and future generations. Crises of inequality and governability easily feed vicious cycles, especially in our tightly inter-connected world. We need to be careful about the politics about denial, devisiveness, scapegoating and turning inwards. Ed will explore a reform agenda for both the political and economic sectors.
