"Private Vices, Public Prosperity: Can Self-Interest Sustain a Free Republic?"

Panelists will examine a foundational debate in American political thought: Does a healthy republic require citizens formed by civic virtue, moral character, and public-spiritedness, or can liberty endure through a commercial society driven by self-interest, free markets, and well-designed institutions? Join our distinguished scholars for a thoughtful exploration of these competing visions of the American republic’s moral foundations.
