Join us for a compelling lecture with Jeffrey Rosen, where you’ll experience two influential books in one engaging conversation: The Pursuit of Happiness and The Pursuit of Liberty. In The Pursuit of Happiness, Rosen explores how the Founders redefined the Declaration’s promise of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” as a call to virtue, drawing on classical philosophy and the lives of Franklin, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Hamilton. In The Pursuit of Liberty, he examines the enduring clash between Jefferson and Hamilton over the balance of individual freedom and federal power, and how their competing visions continue to shape modern debates.
Jeffrey Rosen is CEO Emeritus of the National Constitution Center, a professor at George Washington University Law School, and a contributing editor of The Atlantic. A former staff writer for The New Yorker, he is the author of The Pursuit of Happiness, Conversations with RBG, and The Pursuit of Liberty. He is a graduate of Harvard, Oxford, and Yale Law School.
