Richard A. Epstein will deliver the next Friedrich Hayek Lecture on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, at 5:00 pm at Duke University in Social Sciences 139.
The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is titled "Can a Hayekian Do without Central Planning?"
Professor Epstein is the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at the NYU School of Law, the Peter and Kirsten Bedford Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and the James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor of Law (Emeritus) and Senior Lecturer at the University of Chicago.
He writes and teaches in many areas and is the author, most recently, of The Classical Liberal Constitution: The Uncertain Quest for Limited Government (2014), in which he attempts to develop "a distinctive synthesis of contsitutional law that does not fall squarely within either the conservative or progressive camp."
The lecture is sponsored by the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University; the Duke program in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics; and the Duke program in American Values and Institutions.
The lecture series is supported by a grant from the Thomas W. Smith Foundation.
