Hudson Institute's Bradley Center for Philanthropy and Civic Renewal and Encounter Books, in cooperation with the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, will convene a symposium of distinguished intellectuals and writers to discuss the power of ideas, publishing and its role in maintaining liberty.
"Noted scholars Andrew McCarthy, Victor Davis Hanson and John Fonte will write essays that will launch the symposium discussion," said Bill Schambra, Director of Hudson Institute's Bradley Center. "Encounter Books, in its tenth year of publishing, has been a key platform for some of the most debated ideas of the last decade."
"Our panels of distinguished commentators will examine how the written word has and continues to influence the debate on public policy issues. Since it was established in 1998, Encounter Books has published influential and thoughtful books that have garnered worldwide attention," said Michael W. Grebe, President and CEO of the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.
