People of Virtue - George Weigel

George Weigel contends that it takes "a certain kind of people, possessed of certain virtues" to ensure that our political and economic freedoms work towards genuine human flourishing. A vibrant, public moral-cultural life is what democracy and the free market needs, to guard against their potential excesses and power. In his talk, Weigel lays out what this moral-cultural life looks like and how we can be the people, possessed of certain virtues, who work to bring such a vibrant public life about in New Zealand.
