"Can Capitalism and Spirituality Coexist?” Panel | Moderated by Rainn Wilson | One Planet Summit 

In the pursuit of profit and progress, capitalism often appears at odds with the deeper yearnings of the human spirit.
But, what exactly is spirituality, and why does it matter in today's capitalistic landscape?
‪@SoulBoom‬ author, actor, and entrepreneur, Rainn Wilson defines spirituality far beyond its usage in only a religious context. Rather, he sees spirituality as encompassing anything that involves the human pursuit of a higher purpose: the creation of art, coming together in community, altruism, or the quest for beauty.
But, can these spiritual ideas coexist with capitalist practices?
Rainn Wilson returns to the One Planet Summit stage to moderate a thought-provoking panel, to wrestle with varying perspectives on how spirituality can infuse meaning into the profit-driven world. Along with our expert panelists, Julian MacQueen, Yassin Saar, Daryn Dodson, and Emily Chew, they evaluate various facets of spirituality's role in business and economics. We learn that fostering a sense of purpose and community within corporate structures is not that incomprehensible- and closer to achieving than we may realize.
