In this lecture delivered on September 18 2008, Acton's Research Director, Dr. Samuel Gregg, discusses some of the root causes of the American economy's present problems, the merits of various attempts to grapple with them, and the fundamental reforms that are needed for sustained economic growth to reignite. Dr. Gregg argues that just as the problems stem from moral, political, and economic errors, so too are the solutions to be found in the moral, economic, and political realm.
