It was an honor to host Lawrence H. White last week for our annual Adam Smith Lecture. Professor White delivered a fascinating talk titled "Adam Smith on Private Money Versus Government Money."

We were privileged to learn from one of the field's leading voices. Professor White is an Emeritus Professor of Economics at George Mason University, a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute, and a Distinguished Scholar of the Association for Private Enterprise Education.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this insightful evening!
