Program Description

Event Details

Join us for a lively book discussion of Who Is Government? by Michael Lewis. Location TBD.

The government is a vast, complex system that Americans pay for, rebel against, rely upon, dismiss, and celebrate. It's also our shared resource for addressing the biggest problems of society. And it's made up of people, mostly unrecognized and uncelebrated, doing work that can be deeply consequential and beneficial to everyone. Michael Lewis invited his favorite writers to find someone doing an interesting job for the government and write about them in a special in-depth series for the Washington Post. (From the publisher.) In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Participants are responsible for purchasing their own food and beverages.
