Details

The Adam Smith Society at USC has partnered up with GWiB and AFA to host a conversation with Marilyn Fedak, founder of the Adam Smith Society's national organization.

Marilyn has had an exceptional 40+ year career on Wall Street and has been ranked by Fortune as one of the "Most Powerful Women" in Business. Suffice it to say, Marilyn has a wealth of career and and industry insight that we can learn from.

She founded the Adam Smith Society in 2010 with the Manhattan Institute as a means to foster discussion on the merits of a free market economy on business school campuses.

She'll be discussing the current challenges facing the free market system, the morality of capitalism, and the role of the individual.

Following the conversation, we will be hosting a small dinner at Moreton Fig where invited guests can learn more about Marilyn's career.
