A 4 day seminar in which the Fellows build their vision of “a good society” by reading, discussing, debating and relating the writings of a wide range of thinkers to their present-day conditions. Thinkers include Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau, Hobbes, Lee Kwan Yew, Friedrich Hayek, Julius Nyerere, Rachel Carson, Ibn Khaldun, Simon Bolivar and others. The Fellows share their personal thoughts on the proper role of government in society as well as on the sorts of trade-offs they are willing to accept in the name of economic growth.
