This presentation will feature the stories of global entrepreneurs in the 19th-21st centuries that found economic and social success rooted in virtue in the most challenging historical circumstances. We will explore the experiences of women and men from diverse cultures and religious tradition. As we hear these narratives, several principles of personal character and socioeconomic understanding emerge that offer hope and wisdom for our complex global and local contexts.
