Please join us on Monday, February 17th at 7:00PM, when Dr. David Deavel will present, "Taking Advantage of Freedom: What to Do with Liberty When You Have It.” The talk will be held in Winants Auditorium. This event is co-hosted by Markets & Morality and the Saint Benedict Institute.

While political, economic, and intellectual freedom is a precious gift to humans, our long history shows that we are ready to give it away. Why is that? One answer might be given from the Nobel-Prize-winning Russian writer, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008): when people don’t understand and use the freedom they have, they will throw it away to the detriment of themselves and their loved ones. This lecture will give a brief introduction to the life and career of Solzhenitsyn and then outline four enemies of freedom along with the way to defeat them. The goal is to take advantage of freedom in order to preserve it and flourish as individuals and societies.
