Description

Join us for an evening with one of today’s most influential thinkers on law, behavioral economics, and public policy.

Cass R. Sunstein served as Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs under the Obama administration. He co-authored the New York Times bestseller Nudge with Nobel laureate Richard Thaler, detailing how public and private organizations can help people make better choices.

His work explores how rules, institutions, and human behavior shape freedom and democracy – and what happens when these foundations are challenged. In his talk, Sunstein will take a fresh look at the idea of liberalism.
