School of Business Hosting Speaker Series About Socialism

We want to let you know about an opportunity your student has this spring to learn more about a topic that is frequently in the news, especially as we head into election season.

There’s a disturbing trend among Millennials and Generation Z, who in large numbers believe that socialism is a viable alternative to a free market economy. Without embracing a biblical worldview and the grace of God, humanity’s sinful nature will find a way to abuse any system, but Cedarville’s School of Business Administration (SBA) holds that a free market system is the best option for promoting human flourishing and constraining the worst tendencies of human nature.

The SBA is hosting a speaker series throughout spring semester to address this important and timely topic.
