Denny Center for Democratic Capitalism at Georgetown Law
The Denny Center for Democratic Capitalism is a research center at Georgetown Law in Washington, D.C.

Purpose

The Denny Center for Democratic Capitalism at Georgetown Law exists to reconcile the benefits of free market capitalism with the values and expectations of a democratic society.

The Denny Center’s primary work is to evaluate the relative balance of economic performance and societal health and stability. To that end, we will attempt to measure the “vital signs” of both business results and the needs of society, to highlight the tensions present in the existing system, and to search for potential solutions, especially those that consider all stakeholders and favor long-term objectives to measure success.

To carry out its mission, the Denny Center pursues work in three areas:

  1. Conducting and publishing research including the center’s signature annual report card to analyze the current health of democratic capitalism;
  2. Convening leading voices from business, government, and society (both public and private sectors) to discuss existing tensions and recommend new paths forward;
  3. Creating student experiences to enrich their education, engage them in the center’s work, and prepare them for lifelong contributions.

Georgetown Law provides the ideal home for the Denny Center given its esteemed faculty, strategic location, vast resource base, and outstanding student body.
