In this episode, Bob Luddy, the founder and Chairman of the Board of Thales Academy, interviews Don Devine about his new book, "The Enduring Tension: Capitalism and the Moral Order," as well as the habits of visionary leaders and the significance of Classical education. Don Devine is a well-respected professor, civil servant, and author with a long career in academia and public service. Devine is also a passionate supporter of Classical education, and he wrote much of the scope and sequence of our high school program at Thales Academy. As Bob and Don discuss in the interview, a Classical education imparts to students timeless wisdom that helps them become confident, Classical thinkers. This interview is the first of three interviews with Don Devine.
