Overview
The Democracy and Capitalism Project is housed at the Miller Center, a nonpartisan affiliate of the University of Virginia that strives to apply the lessons of history and civil discourse to the nation’s most pressing contemporary governance challenges. The project seeks to develop ideas and debates that will shape a paradigm well-suited to address today’s challenges at the confluence of the economy, government, and society. The project proposes to hold a major conference in Fall 2022 that will explore the philosophical dimensions of the relationship between a free enterprise system and self-government, probe the deep historical roots of the relationship, and consider policy proposals that promise a reimagining of the relationship. The convening has the potential to galvanize an ongoing working group of scholars, published papers, and media products that would widen the reach of its findings.
