Making Good
Many things that get broken can be repaired. Fortunately, human ingenuity and enterprise has turned natural substances into wonderous glues and made them available so that almost anything can be put back together again.
What glue do we need to repair broken trust, broken homes and communities, broken relationships between nations, a broken relationship with nature, and a broken relationship between the present, the past and the future? It will certainly have to be a truly super glue!
Richard Glover will deliver the 2025 Annual Economics Lecture, Making Good, which draws on examples to illustrate moral and practical economic relationships that provide such a glue.
Richard Glover has been a keen student of both Economics with Justice and Philosophy at the School of Philosophy and Economic Science for many years, and has headed its Economics Faculty for the past five. His ongoing interests include the relationship between property rights and the common good, and how philosophy can offer practical help to address today’s economic, social, and environmental issues.
His profession life has been as a consultant in the world of electronics and technology.
