Delivering Responsible Capitalism - Rt Hon David Davis MP
Capitalism has proven benefits for creating and sustaining economic progress and there is no current alternative that would command wide support. Nevertheless, the 2008 financial crash has undermined trust in some of the processes and institutions of capitalism, and revealed some examples of what can be labelled irresponsible capitalism. Technology, too, has provided the means for both private sector companies and governments to follow the activities of individuals in ways that can compromise their privacy and civil liberties. Come and hear the views of David Davis on such issues, and what he thinks needs to be done to deliver (more) responsible capitalism.

About the Industry Forum
The Industry Forum promotes constructive dialogue between public policy makers, industry operating in the UK, and leading commentators. It has operated for nearly 20 years and has established good relations with the main political parties and the parliamentary select committees.
Focusing on current key issues, it provides opportunities for policy makers to explain policies and objectives face-to-face with businesses that can give practical and unfiltered feedback. The aim is that this process should lead to economic and social benefits by improving public policy related to business.

Our events are informal and interactive, and adhere to the Chatham House rule. The majority are held in Central London sponsored and hosted by members. Attendance is by invitation-only to members and guests. Attendees are predominantly business professionals who bring their own current and practical views and information
