An education reformer and a prominent investor with differing political beliefs have joined forces to speak about how today’s government spending affects tomorrow’s citizens. In a free public event Wednesday (Nov. 13) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, educator Geoffrey Canada and investor Stanley Druckenmiller will discuss “Generational Equity: The Impact of the Federal Budget on Young Americans.”
The talk will begin at 7 p.m. at Memorial Hall. Attendees should register in advance at https://generationalequity.eventbrite.com/. The event is presented by Kenan-Flagler Business School and The Robertson Scholars Leadership Program and will be moderated by Susan King, dean of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
Canada and Druckenmiller first collaborated on an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, expressing their shared concern that government spending levels are unsustainable. They have continued to bring their message to the wider public, appearing on national television and speaking at college campuses. They warn that failing to reform an entitlement culture, reaffirm long-run objectives, and re-establish a common purpose will mean diminished opportunities for America’s younger generations.
