Lecture abstract:

Jeffrey Tucker, founder of the Brownstone Institute, offers insights from his book, “Life After Lockdown,” in a thought-provoking and sometimes emotional talk. He shares key observations on the unforeseen impacts of the COVID-19 lockdowns and critically examines the responses to the pandemic. Tucker addresses the challenge of finding truth amid a flood of information and reflects on the search for understanding in a changed world. His presentation encourages a reevaluation of the intersections between society, governance, and individual freedoms in times of crisis, inviting viewers to consider these important discussions.

Tucker is the founder of the nonprofit Brownstone Institute for Social and Economic Research, a think tank that researches and presents critiques of COVID measures such as lockdowns, masking, and vaccine mandates. In 2020, he helped organize The Great Barrington Declaration, an open letter in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns.

Tucker is a Senior Economics Columnist for The Epoch Times, author of 10 books, including ‘Liberty or Lockdown,’ and thousands of articles in the scholarly and popular press. He speaks widely on topics of economics, technology, social philosophy, and culture.
