Mr. Lehrman was the recipient of ALA’s Logan Hay Medal, and a large video screen gave all in attendance the opportunity to see ALA Director (and newly elected 1st Vice President) Michael Burlingame present the Medal in Mr. Lehrman’s Connecticut office a few weeks earlier. Professor Burlingame read the accompanying citation, which said in part: “Few people in our time have done more to promote the study and appreciation of Abraham Lincoln than the venture capitalist, philanthropist, and author Lewis E. Lehrman. A graduate of Yale University with an advanced degree in history from Harvard, he has published several books, among them Lincoln at Peoria: The Turning Point (a history of Lincoln’s anti-slavery Michael Burlingame shows Logan Hay Medal to video camera campaign from 1854 to 1865); Lincoln “by Littles” (a collection of before presenting it to Lewis E.

  • The End of Economics, Or, Is
    THE END OF ECONOMICS, OR, IS UTILITARIANISM FINISHED? By John D. Mueller James Madison Program Fellow Fellow of The Lehrman Institute President, LBMC LLC Princeton University, 127 Corwin Hall, 15 April 2002 Summary. According to Lionel Robbins’ classic definition, “Economics is the science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means that have alternate uses.” Yet most modern economists assume that economic choice involves only the means and not to the ends of human action. The reason seems to be that most modern economists are ignorant of the history of their own discipline before Adam Smith or Jeremy Bentham. Leading economists like Gary Becker attempt to explain all human behavior, including love and hate, as a maximization of “utility.” But historically and logically, an adequate description of economic choice has always required both a ranking of persons as ends and a ranking of scarce goods as means. What is missing from modern economics is an adequate description of the ranking of persons as ends. This is reflected in the absence of a satisfactory microeconomic explanation (for example, within the household) as to how goods are distributed to their final users, and in an overemphasis at the political level on an “individualistic social welfare function,” by which policymakers are purported to add up the preferences of a society of selfish individuals and determine all distribution from the government downwards, as if the nation or the world were one large household. As this “hole” in economic theory is recognized, an army of “neo-scholastic” economists will find full employment for the first few decades of the 21st Century, busily rewriting the Utilitarian “economic approach to human behavior” that dominated the last three decades of the 20th Century.

    “ … measuring him by the sentiment of his country, a sentiment he was bound as a statesman to consult, [Lincoln] was swift, zealous, radical, and determined.” — FREDERICK DOUGLASS, APRIL 14, 1876 LINCOLN AT PEORIA The Turning Point by Lewis E. Lehrman Lincoln at Peoria: The Turning Point explains how Lincoln’s speech at Peoria on October 16, 1854 was the turning point in the development of his antislavery campaign and his political career and thought. Here, Lincoln detailed his opposition to slavery’s extension and his determination to defend America’s Founding document from those who denied that the Declaration of Independence applied to black Americans. Students of Abraham Lincoln know the canon of his major speeches — from his Lyceum Speech of 1838 to his “Final Remarks” delivered from a White House window, days before he was murdered in 1865. Less well-known are the two extraordinary speeches given at Springfield and Peoria two weeks apart in 1854. They marked Mr. Lincoln’s reentry into Book Information the politics of Illinois and, as he could not know, his preparation for the U.S. History Hardcover Presidency in 1861. These Lincoln addresses catapulted him into the July 2008 debates over slavery which dominated Illinois and national politics for the $29.95 rest of the decade. Lincoln delivered the substance of these arguments 978-0-8117-0361-1 Published by Stackpole Books several times — certainly in Springfield on October 4, 1854, for which there www.LincolnAtPeoria.com are only press reports.

The first stop was at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, which opened April 19, 2005, under Richard Norton Smith's direction. It is a state-of-the-art museum that packs a powerful emotional punch and makes history come alive. Abraham Lincoln, the nation's 16th president, arguably faced the greatest crises in American history: (1) the fracturing of the Union, (2) the outbreak of a civil war, and (3) the long-looming moral, political, economic, and social confrontation with slavery, which had reached a boiling point by 1861.

I am grateful to Prof. Robert George for taking the risk of planting me there; and to the Madison Program staff—Dr. Seana Sugrue, Jane Hale, Linda Kativa, Judi Rivkin and now Reggie Cohen—for tenderly nurturing the seedling while it was in their care.

  • NMAH | Albert H. Small Documents Gallery: the Gettysburg Address
    Transcript NARRATOR: The most famous home in America has housed presidents and first families since its completion in 1800 when John and Abigail Adams moved in before the paint was even dry. Many have visited this place. Some have seen the inside on public tours. A few have attended an official gala with all its beauty and glitter. And even fewer get into the private quarters of the President and First Lady. On that second floor is the most famous of White House rooms, the Lincoln Bedroom. Lincoln never slept in this room. On the contrary this room bustled with cabinet members and generals as Lincoln used it as his office. And it was here in January, 1863, that Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Subsequent presidents continued to use the room as their office until 1902 when the West Wing was completed. But it would be decades later until Harry Truman had the idea of a bedroom dedicated to Lincoln. LAURA BUSH: When Truman re-did the house in the late 40s and 50s, he set up that room--the room we now call the Lincoln bedroom--to commemorate the fact that is was Lincoln's office, and that it was the room that he signed the Emancipation Proclamation in. So the room itself is really a shrine, I think, to American history. NARRATOR: The Lincoln Bedroom has undergone a variety of changes through the years. Different administrations presented it in different ways. But the first major renovation of the room was under the guidance of First Lady Laura Bush.
