Glenn C. Loury - Preserving the American Project: The Bias Narrative vs. the Development Narrative

On Saturday, June 5, 2021 Pepperdine School of Public Policy hosted its annual Augustus and Patricia Tagliaferri Dean's Distinguished lecture entitled, Preserving the American Project: The Bias Narrative vs. the Development Narrative featuring Dr. Glenn C. Loury is the Merton P. Stoltz Professor of Economics at Brown University.

The Augustus and Patricia Tagliaferri Dean's Distinguished Lecture Series was established through an endowment for the School of Public Policy by benefactor Dr. Augustus "Gus" Tagliaferri (MBA '74). From its founding, the School of Public Policy has uniquely considered the role all the liberal arts play in shaping sustainable policy and great leaders.

The Augustus and Patricia Tagliaferri Dean's Distinguished Lecture Series hosts leading scholars to explore the many facets that comprise wise public decision-making.

Last year's wave of public protests across America literally and figuratively placed the question of race front and center in the nation's public square. The debates around the best ways forward—politically and in public policy—have been polarizing and wide-ranging. But a common thread running through even disparate policy proposals has been the quest for increasing the "social capital"—the relational foundations of economic opportunity—of African Americans.

In this lecture by one of the country's foremost experts on social capital, economist Dr. Glenn Loury will explore the components that lead to greater economic opportunity and broader societal flourishing . . . and those that don't. In so doing, we might realize anew the common aspirations we all have for "the pursuit of happiness."
