SUMMARY:Your Vote: Democracy in Decline
DESCRIPTION:On October 25\, 2018\, the Center for the Study of Free Enterprise is excited to present our second installment of the 2018-19 Free Enterprise Speaker Series\, Your Vote: Democracy in Decline. Presented by Professor Loren Lomasky\, who considers himself a Churchillian democrat\, this event will explore the undersides of voting and troubling developments in democratic societies around the globe\, from Turkey to Poland\, Hungary to the Philippines\, and here at home too.\n\n\n\n\n\nIs democracy in decline? Does your vote matter anymore? This event will present these questions and more\, and with the 2018 midterm elections unfolding in the wake of a bitter Supreme Court nomination\, it seems that more public attention than ever is focused on voting and democracy in America.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event will be held at 5 pm in the A.K. Hinds University Center Theater on Western Carolina University’s campus.\n\nThe event is free and open to the public.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\nAbout Lomasky \nLoren Lomasky is Cory Professor of Political Philosophy\, Politics\, and Law and the University of Virginia. Professor Lomasky is best known for his work in moral and political philosophy. His book Persons\, Rights\, and the Moral Community (Oxford University Press\, 1987) established his reputation as a leading advocate of a rights-based approach to moral and social issues. He is also co-author of Democracy and Decision: The Pure Theory of Electoral Preference (Cambridge University Press\, 1993)\, a landmark work about the effects of voting in democracies. In his 2016 article\, “Fleecing the Young\,” Lomasky makes the case for more intergenerational fairness in U.S. budget policies that currently enrich older generations while handing young people the bill. For more than four decades\, Lomasky has taught undergraduate and graduate classes in the philosophy of religion\, medieval philosophy and other episodes in the history of philosophy as well as many topics in moral and political philosophy. He has held research appointments sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the Center for the Study of Public Choice\, the Australian National University\, and the Social Philosophy and Policy Center. He has been the recipient of many awards including the American Philosophical Association’s Matchette Prize for the best book in philosophy.
