What can great writers such as Aristophanes, Tolstoy, Austen, and Conrad offer readers in today's topsy-turvy world? A lot! Their classic novels, plays, and short stories engross the reader while sparking the contemplation of profound truths and enduring moral questions about how individuals should live their lives. The articles in our Winter 2020/21 Symposium grapple with what great literature can tell us about the political and economic arrangements that make for a free and flourishing society.
 
This issue also features Paul Craig Roberts’s “What Is Supply-Side Economics? Four Decades Later Wikipedia and Academic Economists Still Don’t Know” as well as twelve reviews of important new books including ten web-exclusive reviews.
