In *The Road to Freedom*, Stiglitz argues that markets alone cannot guarantee liberty. True freedom, he contends, requires strong institutions, community, and public investment—ideas more relevant than ever for the future of democracy.
The backdrop is sobering. In @nytopinion, Stiglitz shared how the Trump administration abruptly cut funding for this very lecture series - over a DEI clause. SDU stepped in to ensure it could still go ahead.
