American Presidents: The Best and the Worst (Lawrence Reed - Acton Institute)
What makes a president "good" or "bad"? Are the views of conventional historians right on such things or should we be looking for second opinions? In this lecture, Lawrence W. Reed offers his answers to these questions, while taking us on a stroll through the triumphs and the follies of some of the 43 men who have occupied the White House.
Lawrence W. ("Larry") Reed became president of Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) in 2008, after serving as chairman of its board of trustees in the 1990s and both writing and speaking for FEE since the late 1970s. Prior to becoming FEE's president, he served for twenty years as president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy in Midland, Michigan. He also taught Economics full-time from 1977 to 1984 at Northwood University in Michigan and chaired its Department of Economics from 1982 to 1984.
A champion for liberty, Reed has authored over 1,000 newspaper columns and articles, dozens of articles in magazines and journals in the U. S. and abroad. His writings have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Christian Science Monitor, USA Today, Baltimore Sun, Detroit News and Detroit Free Press, among many others.
His interests in political and economic affairs have taken him as a freelance journalist to 81 countries on six continents. He is a member of the prestigious Mont Pelerin Society and an advisor to numerous organizations around the world. He served for 15 years as a member of the board (and one term as president) of the State Policy Network. His numerous recognitions include the "Champion of Freedom" award from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy and the "Distinguished Alumni" award from Grove City College.
