March 11, 2010 Is Attacking Business the Way to Speed Recovery? Join Discovery Institute Senior Fellow Michael Medved for an informative and lively discussion regarding several common misconceptions about big business in America. The lecture follows the release of his new book, The 5 Big Lies About American Business. Following the economic meltdown of 2008, a scarlet letter has branded big business and the free market system in America as exploiting the economy to make a quick buck. But has big business just become America’s scapegoat as it wrestles its way to economic recovery? In The 5 Big Lies About American Business, Mr. Medved tackles the common misconceptions and smears about big business and capitalism and shows how we all prosper under the free market system. The event will be held at our Seattle headquarters, located at 208 Columbia Street in downtown Seattle, on Thursday, March 11, from 4:30 to 6:00 PM. A selection of regional wines and cheeses will precede the event. Though we cannot validate, parking is available in the Millennium Tower Garage (719 2nd Avenue - entrance on Columbia).
