Channel Title: American Enterprise Institute Channel Description: AEI -- Ideas that change the world. Founded in 1938, the American Enterprise Institute sponsors original research on the world economy, U.S. foreign policy and international security, and domestic political and social issues. AEI is dedicated to preserving and strengthening the foundations of a free society—limited government, competitive private enterprise, vital cultural and political institutions, and vigilant defense—through rigorous inquiry, debate, writing, and video. <video> America at 250: Natural Rights, the Common Good, and the American Revolution Description: The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of American independence, yet the nation’s founding is controversial now in ways it has not been in decades. In the fourth symposium of AEI’s “We Hold These Truths: America at 250” initiative, legal scholars and political scientists examine the ways in which the founding generation understood the “unalienable rights” immortalized by the Declaration of Independence. Although the Declaration described the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as a “self-evident” truth, this characterization belied the Revolutionary era’s multifaceted discourse on the origins of political rights and their role in sustaining a flourishing civil society. Delving into these debates reveals how the American Revolution encoded a productive tension between individual rights and communal responsibilities at the nation’s founding.

Does treating personal information as common-law property offer a framework for thinking about privacy protection and maximizing consumer welfare? Or have experiments with injecting property into privacy legislation already proven it inapt? Recent law review articles fall on each side of the issue, offering a chance to assess the status of one alternative to US federal privacy legislation, which seems permanently just over the horizon and unlikely to “solve” privacy. Join AEI’s Jim Harper, the University of Florida’s Jane Bambauer, George Mason University Antonin Scalia School of Law’s James Cooper, and St. Mary’s University School of Law’s Adam MacLeod for a discussion on the issues raised by the intersection of privacy and property.

In his provocative forthcoming book—The Lost Decade: Returning to the Fight for Better Schools—the Pioneer Institute for Public Policy Research’s Steven F. Wilson argues for restoring rich curriculum and high standards to American education, claiming that social justice education does more harm than good for the students it seeks to help. Join us as Mr. Wilson presents on the need to return to successful education models and school cultures, followed by a panel with education experts on bringing high standards and expectations back to American schools.

In Electoral Reform in the United States: Proposals for Combating Polarization and Extremism, the Task Force on Institutional Reforms to Combat Political Extremism offers ideas for reforming key aspects of the US electoral process. Starting from the premise that the way our political processes are designed incentivizes certain political styles and candidates, the task force addresses distortions in electoral procedures that have enabled political extremism among officeholders to be overrepresented. Join us for a conversation with the task force’s American politics and law scholars on reform strategies for reducing polarization, enhancing democratic responsiveness, and addressing the challenges facing American democracy.

Description: The 2024 election revealed significant shifts in how Americans seek information, whom they trust, and how they determine the truthfulness and integrity of the information they consume. What does this mean for our political culture and social cohesion in the years to come? Do we need to move beyond discussing “misinformation” and “disinformation” and devise new frameworks for understanding how social media platforms and other emerging technologies influence the information environment?

A Conversation with Samuel Wilkinson Description: American men and boys are struggling. Young men are much more likely than their female counterparts to live with their parents as adults. Many men report feeling aimless and isolated. Several ideas have been put forward to remedy this, but many of these ignore how fatherhood imbues many men with a sense of purpose. Join Samuel Wilkinson—author of Purpose: What Evolution and Human Nature Imply About the Meaning of Our Existence—and AEI’s Brad Wilcox and Carole Hooven to discuss how fatherhood provides a powerful sense of meaning and fulfillment that men are less likely to find elsewhere.
