Politicians on both sides of the aisle are resurrecting the government expansion plans of FDR in the 1930s and LBJ in the 60s. Those plans assumed that government could serve America better than the private sector. But what was the result of those policies? Join us as four-time NY Times bestselling author Amity Shlaes traces history's evidence from two preceding Progressive pushes and shares her insights on today's challenges. This event is presented by the UofL Center for Free Enterprise, as part of the Menard Family Lecture Series. Open to the public. Masks required, per university policy.
