Abstract
In an age of increasing impersonality, bureaucratism and “globalism”, is it still possible for truly great individuals to make a decisive impact, morally and politically, on the unfolding of history--and if so, how so?

When:  Thursday, May 1, 2014, from 7:30 to 9 p.m.
Where:  Room MB-3.210, John Molson School of Business Building (1450 Guy St.), Sir George Williams Campus
