Our first speaker will be Harvey Silverglate who is one of America’s top defense lawyers. Harvey has represented criminal defendants in some of the most famous cases. He has taught at Harvard Law School and has been the Chairman of the Board of the ACLU’s Massachusetts Affiliate. Harvey is an expert on the FBI and he feels that the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover haunts the FBI, and as a result, the FBI needs to be shut down, the staff fired, and a new national police force needs to be created to handle national crimes. This will be a provocative discussion.
Our second speaker is Nick Eberstadt who is the American Enterprise Institute Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy. Nick is the author of the book Men Without Work, and the second edition of the book will be released tomorrow.
Nick is going to discuss the steady increase in the number of men who are 25 to 54 who do not work and are not looking for work. We are going to find out who these men are, what they do all day, and whether they are happy. And finally, we are going to hear about what public policies may have exacerbated this problem and what we can do about it.
