Race and Power: Capitalism

Dean Lowery explores the fraught history of capitalism with Mehrsa Baradaran, Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at University of California, Irvine, and Author of “How the Other Half Banks” and “The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap.” "Leadership for Society: Race and Power" is a series of conversations hosted by the Stanford Graduate School of Business that aims to deepen our collective awareness of profound racial disparities in the United States and around the world. Through conversations with a diverse array of leaders, Senior Associate Dean Brian Lowery explores the role of race in society, how race interacts with structures of power, and how systemic racism manifests itself in institutions and in our daily lives. These candid and honest conversations show how future leaders' decisions might lead to different outcomes for different people, based on race. This episode was recorded on Oct. 5, 2020.
