A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

Arthur Brooks on ‘Earning Happiness’

About three years ago, someone at my grad school asked me what I wanted to be doing in five years from that point in my life.  My answer was simple: working in some capacity for either Arthur Brooks or Dennis Prager.

I now work for organizations both men oversee.

I tell that story here simply to prevent some from claiming that I am a "homer", or someone who is touting the new course from Prager University with Dr. Brooks merely because I get paid to. I believed in Arthur Brooks' message of making the moral case for freer economic markets long before I had ever even met the guy.

So watch this:

The words "happiness" and "free enterprise" don't usually appear in the same sentence. But Dr. Brooks, President of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI.org), shows that the two are intimately and profoundly connected. The free enterprise system not only creates wealth, it creates the best chance we have to achieve personal satisfaction.
