New York, NY (PRWEB) July 15, 2010

The Center on Capitalism and Society at Columbia University announced today that Richard Attias has been appointed Chair of its Advisory Board, effective immediately.

Richard Attias is Chairman and CEO of the Experience Corporation, a global event production and strategic communication firm and is the Founder of the New York Forum, which had its inaugural conference on June 22-23, 2010.

The goal is to turn capitalism from an article of faith, or an object of hate, into a reasonably well understood system of institutions and mechanisms whose social foundations can be evaluated in a rational, enlightened fashion.

?I am delighted that Richard has agreed to chair the Center?s Advisory Board,? said Edmund Phelps, Director of the Center, McVickar Professor of Political Economy at Columbia University and the winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Economics. ?Richard has the vision and the experience to help us combine the academic disciplines with top events, and give our findings greater visibility. I look forward to working with Richard in the coming years.?

?I would like to thank Edmund Phelps and the members of the Center on Capitalism and Society for this great honor,? said Richard Attias. ?The Center is unmatched in its expertise. It looks to build a discipline of modern economics that?s based on today?s realities and society. I look forward to working with the great minds of the Center to bring some of its findings to life and take it to the next level.?
