Truths Still Held? John Courtney Murray's “American Proposition,” Fifty Years Later.
A half century after the publication of We Hold These Truths, EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow Weigel, in his 2010 Simon Lecture: Truths Still Held? John Courtney Murray and the "American Proposition" Fifty Years Later, will assess the health of our contemporary public culture through the prism of Murray's description of the truths on which the American democratic experiment rests. The William E. Simon Lecture and Reception is generously funded by the William E. Simon Foundation. The Lecture was established in 2001 in honor of the late Secretary of the Treasury, an ardent defender of political and economic freedom. Click here for more information about this event.

Yuval Levin’s Bradley Lecture
On Monday, January 11, EPPC Hertog Fellow Yuval Levin spoke on "Recovering the Case for Capitalism" at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. Mr. Levin's lecture sought to recover the case for capitalism -- a case that draws on many of the same intellectual sources as modern conservatism, that has to do with far more than economics, and that could help us better understand the current crisis of American democratic capitalism. Video of the lecture is available here.
