UnConvention - Crony Capitalism: Building Common Ground on Maximizing the Potential of the Free Market While Reducing Cronyism Favoring Privileged Industries, Individuals, & Firms. Free-market capitalism has done more to advance human health, wealth, and well-being than almost any other institution in history. Yet, the excesses of the recent past have made many question the very institutions -- like banks, regulators, and capital markets -- that make the system work. They see a system biased in favor of the very few at the expense of the great many. How do we find common ground and secure the blessings of the free market for us and our posterity?
