The Institute for Governance and Civics invites you to join Amity Shlaes for a discussion on her book, "The Great Society: A New History."
In this book, Shlaes examines the sweeping ambitions of the 1960s, an era marked by big public programs, national idealism, and fierce debate over the right path to economic and social progress. She traces how major initiatives under multiple administrations shaped the country’s trajectory, highlighting both the aspirations and the unintended outcomes that followed. Her work offers a clear look at how policy choices from that period continue to influence national conversations today.
