From the creator

14th Annual Conference: Agency, Prospering, Progress and the Working Class by the Center on Capitalism and Society Session 2: The Current State of Forces Obstructing or Promoting Broad Agency and Wide Flourishing Chair: W. Bowman Cutter Speakers: Saskia Sassen, Alan Krueger, Simon Head, Malcolm Wiener, David Weil, David S. Rose, Katherine Cramer Organized in collaboration with Common Good and the Roosevelt Institute, the Center's 14th annual conference -- "Agency, Prospering, Progress, and the Working Class" -- was held in Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs Building (IAB). The first goal of the conference was to begin to understand the frustration and disaffection voiced more and more loudly by lower middle class workers in recent decades. The second goal was to attempt to determine what policies would help to remedy the symptoms and what policies would not appear to be helpful. The conference consisted of three sessions, a roundtable, a luncheon speech by Matthew Winkler, and a dinner speech by Daniel Rose.
