Weinstein is an expert on "American Liberalism," and is very learned on the subject of Smith's free market economy.
Smith was a philosopher who sustained very early guidelines for a free-market economy, or a capitalistic society, and also was one of the first to illustrate the benefit of such an economy.
Recently, Weinstein spent his summer in Vienna, continuing research on his book, and also announced that he will be speaking at PSUC.
On two separate dates, Weinstein will give lectures about a free-market economy and its implications on the populous.
The first lecture will be given Sept. 26 in the Cardinal Lounge at 4 p.m., and will be supplemented with a PowerPoint entitled, "Is Money All There Is?: Other Aspects of Life in Adam Smith's Free Market."
This will be a student oriented lecture designed to involve students in a conversation about capitalism and the impact it has on their lives.
Students are encouraged to participate in debate as well as conversation during the presentation.
The second lecture - scheduled for Oct. 2 at 5 p.m. in Krinovitz Recital Hall - will be more lecture based, and is entitled, "Liberal Sympathies: The American Constitution and the Education of U.S. Citizens."
This presentation is presented by the American Democracy Project and is a part of a series of lectures the organization is putting together in order to educate students about their rights in this "American Democracy."
Weinstein will attempt to help students understand the world around them a little more, but at the same time firm the grip on the world they already know.
These lectures can be attended by any student.
