Family scholar Allan C. Carlson will present “Third Ways: Rebuilding an American Economy Focused on the Family and Community” March 24 at the University of Tennessee at Martin.
The lecture is scheduled at 7 p.m. in Watkins Auditorium of Boling University Center.
Third way measures include a return to the natural arrangements of family, church and local community. In contrast to corporate globalization, Carlson will emphasize the importance revitalizing the family farm, the family-held business and the independent shop.
Carlson’s lecture will address questions such as: Does conservatism invariably mean defending the actions of the great banks and corporations? Is agrarianism a ridiculous anachronism in the 21st Century? Is it conservative to wage perpetual war for perpetual peace?
Carlson is president of the Howard Center for Family, Religion & Society.
His books include “The Natural Family: A Manifesto” and “The ‘American Way’: Family and Community in the Shaping of the American Identity.”
The Intercollegiate Studies Institute and its UT Martin chapter student organization will sponsor the lecture.
