What Isn't for Sale
The MBA Alumni Committee invite you to join us for a discussion based on an article by Michael Sandel, which deals with the topic of "What Isn't for Sale?"
A topic that has become increasingly 'hot' in the last fifty years as liberals and socialists have argued about what should be in, and what should be outside, the operations of the market. Michael Sandel is a political philosopher at Harvard University, and his comments are particularly relevant as the US faces the choice between Barack Obama or Mitt Romney as President from 2013-2017.
Friends of the college, partners and current students are welcome to attend.

About the Speaker
Professor Peter Sheldrake
The discussion will be led by Professor Peter Sheldrake, who has just completed teaching a course on innovation at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. He has been watching the primaries in the USA with great interest in the past 6 months, and will start by talking a little about why these are so important, as a lead in to the discussion of Sandel's paper. Peter has also completed a book on philosophy - 'How Shall I Live?' which explores the challenges of leading "an examined life".
