Technocracy and The Global Political Consensus (Michael Matheson Miller - Acton Institute)

The 2016 Acton Lecture Series continued on March 3rd at Acton's Mark Murray Auditorium with an address by Acton Research Fellow and Producer of Poverty, Inc. Michael Matheson Miller. Miller's topic for the day was "Technocracy and The Global Political Consensus."

Many of our current political and social challenges center around the fundamental question of what it means to be a human being, and our understanding of what it means to live an authentic human life. The answers to these questions will have profound consequences for liberty, for the family, and for the kind of society we create.
