Dr. Allan Carlson, President of the Howard Center for Family,
Religion & Society
Authentic conservatism has unique ideas about the meanings and values of community and free markets. What is an authentic view of free markets? How does this view differ from traditional capitalism? Do conservatives really believe in laissez-faire economies? How does the conservative view of community differ in substance from the liberal view of communitarianism? How do strong communities and free markets protect freedom? Tune in Thursday for a conversation about conservatism and the foundations of freedom between Sutherland President Paul Mero and Allan Carlson, director of Sutherland's Center for Community and Economy. Mr. Mero and Dr. Carlson have been close friends and colleagues for over a decade. Dr. Carlson is a prolific author, having written 10 books, including one co-authored by Mr. Mero titled The Natural Family: A Manifesto (2007). Along with being the longtime president of The Howard Center for Family, Religion, and Society, based in Rockford, Ill., Dr. Carlson also is the Distinguished Visiting Professor of History and Politics at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan .We invite you to watch the live Internet broadcast of this one-hour show starting promptly at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 13, on Sutherland's Ustream channel.
