"Free Enterprise: Values in Action" - Disseminating the message

The research collaborations and conclusions have proven very fruitful for the participants of the "Free Enterprise: Values in Action" initiative. In addition to a scholarly book to be published in late 2007, a popular book is also in the works, and a variety of articles in the press have helped to stimulate thinking people outside the academy to pursue the more in-depth materials. Participants of this research program have been provided support to make presentations drawing on the work of the Values program at a variety of venues with the expectation that this will stimulate further papers, chapters, books and other scholarly output. The relatively inexpensive element of the program continues to prove successful in stimulating presentations in contexts.
