Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Is There Any Hope for Congress in 2011?
featuring
Mickey Edwards
in discussion with Ken Adelman and all attendees

Ten days before the State of the Union Address to the Congress, the Aspen Institute’s own Congressional insider gives us his insights. 

Mickey Edwards, now director of the Institute’s Rodel Fellowships in Public Leadership, was a leading Congressman from Oklahoma for 16 years (1977-1992).  Mickey served on the powerful Budget and Appropriations committees, and became a member of the House Republican leadership.

Author of the recent highly-praised book Reclaiming Conservatism (Oxford University Press), Mickey is also a lecturer at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Tickets, $10.
