This fall marks the 50th anniversary of Milton Friedman’s famous essay on the social role of corporations.

The Salem Center will host a panel discussion on the topic featuring McCombs’ former Dean Tom Gilligan (Hoover Institution) along with professors Laura Starks (Finance), Raji Srinivasan (Marketing), Willie Fuchs (Finance) and Sheridan Titman (Finance) as a moderator.
