The Squeaky Weal Lecture Series promotes thoughtful consideration and civil discourse on issues of public concern, with a focus on the religious, moral, and/or ethical implications of such issues for the common good.
All lectures are free and open to the public. Each is followed by a time for questions and discussion and will end at or before 8 p.m.
“Revenue, Revenue, Wherefore Art Thou? Has Government Become Too Expensive?” with Roosevelt University professor and WGN Radio political analyst Paul Green at 6:30 p.m. in the Butler Reception Room of the Warde Academic Center, 3700 W. 103rd Street.
Governments are facing incredible pressure to find funds wherever they can in order to continue providing expected or needed services. Professor Green suggests that many of the decisions about where or how to obtain revenue and where or how to cut services could be challenged ethically – or, at the least, ought to be informed by an ethical perspective.
