Capitalism, Government, and the Good Society

On April 10, 2013, Liberty Fund and Butler U. sponsored a symposium, "Capitalism, Government, and the Good Society." The evening began with solo presentations by the three participants--Michael Munger , Robert Skidelsky, and Richard Epstein. (Travel complications forced the fourth participant, James Galbraith, to cancel.) Each speaker gave his own interpretation of the appropriate role for government in the economy and in our lives. This was followed by a lively conversation on the topic moderated by host Russ Roberts. A video version of the event along with other materials is available at http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2013/09/capitalism_gove.html .
