Entrepreneurship, personal responsibility, and upward mobility: These traditions are at the heart of the free- enterprise system and have long been central to America’s exceptional culture. In recent years, however, policymakers have dramatically weakened these traditions—by exploding the size of government, propping up their corporate cronies, and trying to reorient our system from rewarding merit to redistributing wealth. In The Road to Freedom, Arthur C. Brooks shows that this trend cannot be reversed through materialistic appeals about the economic efficiency of capitalism. Speakers: Clive Crook, Arthur Brooks
