Corporations and powerful actors now wield influence that rivals government’s ability to shape economic life, resulting in the "capture of public institutions by private incentives,” writes Dr. Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò in his leading essay in Boston Review’s issue What Is The State For? 

Join the Marguerite Casey Foundation Book Club on Wednesday, March 12, at noon PT (3 p.m. ET) to explore how this plays out in real life—and how communities are uniting to reclaim their power through collective action. 

Don’t miss this critical conversation moderated by Dr. Carmen Rojas, MCF president and CEO, with Dr. Táíwò and respondents Dr. Thea Riofrancos and Astra Taylor.
