Capitalism Inspires Progress and Prosperity, But Its Shortcomings Must Be Addressed
Capitalism is an economic system that has demonstrated remarkable benefits and fueled tremendous progress over the centuries. It is the strongest form of economic development in the world and encourages and rewards innovation, generally solves issues of supply and demand for products, and provides for the efficient allocation of financial and human capital resources. It has played a significant role in fostering innovation, economic growth and individual freedom.
How Public Company Boards Can Mitigate Supply Chain Risk
Directors must understand the major supply chain risks and the effect they have on the company. Over the past several years, breakdowns in the supply chain have resulted in significantly higher risks to more companies than in the past.
Understand Gen Z’s Impact on Board Decision-Making
Five ways the younger generation is poised to affect issues in the boardroom. Gen Z is coming of age.

According to the Yale School of Management’s Chief Executive Leadership Institute, over 1,000 companies have since curtailed operations in Russia to a point beyond the minimum legally required by international sanctions.
Should Dual-Class Structures Be Eliminated?
Dual-class shares make companies unaccountable to shareholders, markets and courts. Over the last decade, company founders have been opting to shore up control by creating multi-class voting structures that undercut shareholder voting power.
