Please join us as we welcome Arthur Brooks in Grand Rapids on Tuesday, June 12, 2012

Arthur C. Brooks is president of the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank. He is the author of eight books, including “The Battle: How the Fight Between Free Enterprise and Big Government Will Shape America's Future” and “Gross National Happiness.” His newest book, “The Road to Freedom,” was released May 8, 2012.

Special appearances by WZZM’s Lee Van Ameyde and Mackinac Center Investigative Analyst Anne Schieber.

About the book

American policy is at a crossroads. Though 70 percent of Americans claim to love American free enterprise, the size and scope of government continues to grow. This is not a result of Americans loving free enterprise nostalgically, as the Left asserts. Rather, America’s slide toward statism is a direct result of limited government advocates failing to make the moral case for free enterprise, leaving citizens with a choice between materialistic, data-driven arguments from the Right and the morally based but failing policies of the Left. Arthur Brooks will argue that humans are inherently moral beings and that the free enterprise system, more than any other system, aligns with the morals and values all of us hold dear.
