- In 2012-13, the Aspen Institute seeks to engage business leaders, together with leaders from other sectors, in a “design challenge” to answer the question: over the balance of this century, how can capitalism evolve to best serve society. As part of this project, the Intern will assist a senior staff member in developing and distributing a series of essays on capitalism written by prominent thinkers, and will help research potential CEO-level participants for a 2013 senior dialogue on this topic.
- As time permits, the Summer Intern may assist with other work of the Business & Society Program.
