Initiative ... Breakthrough Capitalism
A conference in London on June 14th
At the Breakthrough Capitalism Forum held on 29 May 2012 in London we explored and debated themes such as:
- Capitalism Unplugged - outlining the growing sense that our challenges relate to systemic failures
- Breakthrough Innovation - how investors, entrepreneurs & policy-makers, among others, are driving change
- System Dynamics - where barriers to breakthrough exist and how they can be removed, and
- Scaling Solutions - how breakthrough solutions can deliver system-level change.

Session 1 | CAPITALISM UNPLUGGED
John Elkington - Introduction
Curator: John Elkington
Three scenarios will be introduced: 'Breakdown', 'Change-as-Usual' and 'Breakthrough'. This first session will spotlight ways in which current forms of capitalism are in crisis and, in some areas, teetering on the edge of Breakdown. Speakers will challenge key assumptions about capitalism, map critical system dynamics and look beyond today's Humpty Dumpty Economy to a Green Growth Economy, a central theme of the impending Rio+20 Summit.
