In practice and theory, in daily life choices and organizational changes, in legislative initiatives, in entrepreneurial education, in artistic inventions, in individual and collective projects interesting work is being done to unfold immaterial values, human resources and utopias within a capitalist framework.

This interdisciplinary conference therefore aims at bringing scholars and practitioners together from various fields interested in exploring the different ways people and societies live with, deal with, fight with and transform capitalism.

Papers may be related to a range of academic disciplines and areas, e.g.sociology, philosophy, cultural studies, political sciences, entrepreneurial studies and management, media and communication studies, tourism studies, religious studies, economic and cultural geography, architecture and design studies, and aesthetics.
