The New Laws of Capitalism: Katharina Pistor and Hettie O’Brien in conversation with Mathew Lawrence

​Unelected financiers quietly buy up public assets, from hospitals to housing, and turn them into wealth-generating capital. They get away with this because of the law, which provides the material to advance their interests against society and evade public control. How could we move beyond this unequal system and create one that’s more just — before it’s too late?

​Join Katharina Pistor, Professor of Comparative Law at Columbia University and author of The Law of Capitalism and How to Transform it, and Hettie O’Brien, First Edition writer at the Guardian and author of The Asset Class, in conversation with Mathew Lawrence, founder and director of Common Wealth.

​Please note that this event will take place in the Theatre Room at the October Gallery, which is located on the second floor and unfortunately does not have disabled access.
