Dear
John,
On December 6, the Book Gallery will feature Sam Gregg for a discussion of his newly published book, The Next American Economy. We invite you to join University Bookman editor Luke Sheahan and Sam Gregg as they explore this timely subject by registering here.
As you know, America’s economy is at a crossroads today and many have lost confidence in the country’s commitment to economic liberty. Across the political spectrum, many want the government to play an even greater role in the economy via protectionism, industrial policy, stakeholder capitalism, or even quasi-socialist policies.

In The Next American Economy, Sam Gregg presents an alternative. And that is a vibrant market economy grounded on entrepreneurship, competition, and trade openness, but embedded in what America’s founding generation envisaged: a dynamic Commercial Republic that takes freedom, commerce, and the common good of all Americans seriously, and allows America as a sovereign-nation to pursue and defend its interests in a dangerous world without compromising its belief in the power of economic freedom.

Samuel Gregg is Distinguished Fellow in Political Economy and Senior Research Faculty at the American Institute for Economic Research, and a research fellow at the Acton Institute. The author of sixteen books, he has written for publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Investor’s Business Daily, the Spectator, Foreign Affairs, National Review, American Banker, and Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. He holds an MA in political philosophy from the University of Melbourne, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in moral philosophy and political economy from the University of Oxford, where he worked under the supervision of Professor John Finnis.
No one is better qualified than Dr. Gregg to guide us on this topic. We hope you will join in and feel free to invite others to the Book Gallery on Tuesday, December 6, at 7 p.m. EST.
