Social Justice and Innovation Economics: Meeting Summary

In May, 2010 ITIF and the Center on Labor and Community Outreach co-hosted a meeting in Chicago of innovation economists, social justice activists from a range of organizations, and thinkers from the environmental movement to explore how technology and innovation are linked to everyday concerns about justice, human rights, economic opportunity, and environmental initiatives. The summary of that meeting provides useful insights on the common ground as well as the differences among today's creative thinkers from these varied communities.
