The Aspen Institute 243d ago

This session explores how speculation, identity, and shrinking pathways to financial security intersect—and asks whether the speculative economy is democratizing finance or exploiting vulnerability. Aspen Ideas: Economy is an essential forum designed to bring the public into direct conversation with leaders, scholars, and innovators whose perspectives and decisions are shaping our economic future. https://www.aspenideas.org/attend/economy
