Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute Michael Tanner will discuss ideas from
his new book, The Inclusive Economy: How to Bring Wealth to America's Poor.
Ignoring the traditional conservative and liberal antipoverty debate, Tanner
intertwines social justice with limited government to create a set of fresh and
effective solutions to poverty. Books will be available for purchase and a book
signing will be held after the program.
