As Russell Kirk once wrote, the free economy is primarily valuable \u201cfor the contribution it makes to our justice and order and freedom, our ability to live in dignity as truly human persons.\u201d<\/h5>\n<p>Today, however, the American commitment to a free and humane economy faces new challenges. Many young people are abandoning free market solutions in favor of economic nationalism, industrial policy, and quasi-socialist approaches. New economic challenges are making our economy less competitive, dynamic, and humane. At home, we are confronted with the increased erosion of civil society, community, and family. Abroad, we face the rising challenge of China.<\/p>\n<p>How we address these challenges will determine whether the American economy can remain free and humane for future generations. This will involve a clear recognition of the challenges we face, all while reinvigorating our commitment to the moral, social, and cultural basis of the free market.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Kirk Center will explore these economic challenges in a thoughtful spirit in partnership with The Henry Institute at Calvin University, and Markets &amp; Morality at Hope College on February 26 and 27, 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We look forward to hearing from Samuel Gregg, one of the most sought-after contemporary commentators on the state of, and prospects for, America\u2019s commercial republic.
