An introduction to the life of Lord Acton, his major ideas, and how his legacy continues to inform the work of the Acton Institute and those in the broader liberty movement. Acton’s liberal conservatism stood in sharp contrast to many of his more nationalist and sectarian contemporaries, in a world of reemerging religious and nationalist consciousness what can we learn from Acton’s own struggles with these forces in both his life and his thought?

This event is co-sponsored by America's Future Foundation.
