Public talk: “The Future of Privacy, Free Speech, and the Curse of Bigness: What Louis Brandeis Means Today” by Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO, National Constitution Center, 4:30 pm, Rocky 003
According to Jeffrey Rosen, Louis D. Brandeis was the great critic of what he called “the curse of bigness” in business and government since
Thomas Jefferson. On the 100th anniversary of Brandeis’s Supreme Court confirmation, Rosen argues that Brandeis can teach us more than any other justice about the future of free speech, freedom from government surveillance, and the dangers of big banks and
corporations who take reckless risks with what Brandeis called “other people’s money.” This talk will make a passionate case for why Brandeis matters and what he can teach us about current questions involving the Constitution, monopoly, corporate and federal
power, technology, privacy, and free speech.
