Tucson | “Aesthetic Thinking and Economic Life” with Robert Gordon

Please join the Bastiat Society of Tucson for a luncheon with Robert Gordon, Assistant Research Professor at the University of Arizona Center for the Philosophy of Freedom and a Fellow at the UArizona Center for Buddhist Studies.

Humans have been creating artworks and engaging in economic exchange for millennia. But, can the world of art tell us anything about economics? This talk explores concepts that are fundamental to both fields as it reflects upon ideas that unify us as people and facilitate our reason to be.

Tickets on sale on Eventbrite, purchase here. Ticket price includes entrance, light appetizers, and non-alcoholic beverages. Full lunch and bar is available for purchase from one of six on-site restaurant choices.
