The Central Liberal Truth: How Politics Can Change a Culture and Save It from Itself
Author: Lawrence Harrison

Sunday, July 1, at 8:30 AM

In "The Central Liberal Truth," Lawrence Harrison presents his ideas on how to use cultural forces -- such as religion, politics and education -- to help poor nations and poor people in rich countries make progress. After a three-year research project exploring the cultures and values of dozens of different countries, Mr. Harrison offers his take on how each country's culture has helped or hurt its development.

Lawrence Harrison is a research fellow and lecturer at Tufts University. In the early 1980s, he worked for the U.S. Agency for International Development in Latin America and the Caribbean.
