Join us as we inaugurate the first Robert L. Heilbroner Memorial Lecture. Heilbroner wrote, “Capitalism’s uniqueness in history lies in its continuously self-generated change, but it is this very dynamism that is the system’s chief enemy.” It is in appreciation of what he identified as “the deep human need to be situated with respect to the future” that The New School launches a lecture series in Heilbroner’s memory that focuses on capitalism’s future.
