# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Northwood University Freedom Seminar Series: “Leave Me Alone and I’ll Make You Rich”
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 02 Dec, 2025 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: “Leave Me Alone and I’ll Make You Rich” will be presented by Art Carden, a Margaret Gage Bush Distinguished Professor of Business and Medical Properties Trust Fellow at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama.

Art Carden will explore the themes he and Co-author Deirdre McCloskey wrote about in their book, “Leave Me Alone and I’ll Make You Rich: How the Bourgeois Deal Enriched the World,” which is the fall Omniquest selection to be read by the entire Northwood University community. He explains how the rise of the West, and later the rest of the world, comes from embracing the idea of the dignity and freedom of the individual. This change in thinking led to increasing economic liberty and enterprise that caused a surge in innovation after 1800. These changes not only led to improvements in material living standards, but to broader human flourishing.

We invite the community to join us! The event begins at 6:00 p.m. in the Griswold Lecture Hall on Northwood University’s campus with a reception to follow.
