Access, Enterprise, and Catholic Social Traditions
CCE - McKenna Hall, University of Notre Dame
July 29-30, 2005
Organized by the Erasmus Institute Working Group on Income Inequality
Access, Enterprise, and Catholic Social Traditions, a conference at Notre Dame on July 29–30 will bring together practitioners and theorists concerned with the amelioration of poverty-people who work directly with the poor and those conversant with Catholic social teaching. Rather than enumerating and analyzing the large scale social and political problems that hinder the advancement of the poor, the meeting will focus on more modest strategies that might serve to broaden access of the poor to economic advancement. The conference roster includes speakers who work in microfinance and social entrepreneurship, both in the U.S. and in the developing world, ethicists, and economists, especially Robert Fogel from the University of Chicago, winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.
