Moral Foundations
We are planning a course of talks on the history and significance of supply-side economics--and the tradition of economic growth in this country--beginning in January. Tonight, before an undergraduate audience assembled by the student group The Inklings (the reference is to Tolkein's circle), I shall be giving a talk on The Moral Foundations of Capitalism. Please come if you like, at 7pm in Koelbel 255, but I should point out that I shall be reprising my remarks tonight in a larger public talk in the early spring term, in the supply-side lecture series. This Staurday, in another event, 20 students will be joining me, under the auspices of the Institute for Humane Studies, in studying several great works in 20th-century free-market ideas. As the semester winds up, student interest in classical polical economy, and how it might serve us in our 21st century challenges, remains keen.
