Americans are of two minds when it comes to money. They love rags-to-riches stories and and also stories of rich people being cut down. They obsess over wealthy celebrities but also think rich people are unethical. In this talk, Jason Brennan argues that money indeed makes our lives better, that making money is a noble rather than vicious pursuit, and that, while we have some obligation to 'give back' through philanthropy, most of us already give back far more through our productive work than we ever will through donations. Come hear why it's OK to want to be rich. This event is free and open to all. No registration required. Free parking is available at the University Club.
