Harvard University scholar and political philosopher Michael Sandel will deliver the inaugural Ralph Lowell Lecture. Extending his 1996 work Democracy’s Discontent, celebrated by Alan Brinkley when first published as “a remarkable fusion of philosophical and historical scholarship,” Sandel will offer a long view of America’s civic struggles, from the 1990s to the present, recalling moments when the country found ways to hold economic power to democratic account.
