Owning a business is the very definition of the American dream for many. Timothy Sandefur discusses his new book The Right to Earn a Living, which charts the history of the fundamental human right of economic liberty—a right he says the Founding Fathers considered to be vital to the “pursuit of happiness.”

Sandefur will discuss how the Constitution seeks to protect the right to earn a living and the Constitutional amendments that expanded that protection to all Americans, regardless of race.

Sandefur’s presentation is co-sponsored by the Show-Me Institute.
