Michael Strong: A Conscious Capitalist

As part of his Be The Solution tour, Michael Strong will be speaking at three of SFL’s Regional Conferences -NortheastMid-Atlantic and NYC.

Strong co-founded FLOW with Whole Foods CEO John Mackey. The FLOW Movement combines freedom, voluntary exchange and enterprise from the classical liberal tradition with love, compassion, social and environmental consciousness to create an inspiring and integrated vision.

One project of FLOW is Conscious Capitalism, in which they are working to create an alliance of C-level executives with aligned visions with regard to capitalism.

“At its core, Capitalism is about voluntary association and collaboration, which is one of the reasons Capitalism works, why it won the battle with Socialism in the 20th Century, and why it continues to persist and flourish. But the abuses of the early 21st century (e.g. Tyco, Worlcom, Enron), the recent financial “meltdown,” and ongoing issues including the social costs of externalities, the extreme and widening gap between executive and worker compensation, among others, have undermined trust in business and confidence in Capitalism.

Register today for one of SFL’s Regional Conferences and the chance to hear from the visionary entrepreneur Michael Strong.
