Socialism vs. Capitalism—What's America's Future with Thomas Peterffy

Join us for Objectively Speaking with Thomas Peterffy on Wednesday, August 13 @ 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. Born in Hungary during its communist regime and witness to the failed Hungarian Revolution, Thomas Peterffy came to the United States as a young man and went on to become an early pioneer of electronic trading. From an early seat on the NY Stock Exchange to ultimately founding the global brokerage, Interactive Brokers, Peterffy’s extraordinary entrepreneurial life demonstrates the unbounded opportunity of American capitalism. In turn, Peterffy became a vocal advocate for free markets and individual liberty, which he warns are under increasing threat in today’s political climate. Drawing from his journey from communist Hungary to building one of America’s most innovative financial firms, Peterffy joins CEO Jennifer Grossman to share his views on the rising tide of collectivist thinking, the practical and moral superiority of capitalism, and what lies ahead for the United States.
