Ukraine has managed to overcome the most critical consequences of the 2008 global economic crisis thanks to the nonstandard approaches to management of the economy. This idea was voiced out by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov in his speech at the 9th Yalta Annual Meeting of YES.
Capitalism has not exhausted its potential as economic system, and has a strong social potential, said Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group, speaking at the 9th Yalta Annual Meeting
Modern capitalistic system needs to revise priorities. As long as maximization of profits is a key priority, the problem of global poverty could not be resolved, declared Muhammad Yunus, 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Winner, founder of Grameen Bank and Chairman of Yunus Centre, at the 9th Annual Yalta Meeting, speaking at the session on the future of capitalism
