Reading banned books in Bucharest in the 80s taught Aurelian Craiutu that freedom should not be taken for granted. Now a teacher and scholar in America, Craiutu continues the tradition of challenging today’s students to consider what free societies must ask of their citizens.

Liberal democracy in the United States has persisted for 250 years because each generation tested it and adapted it to changing circumstances. Today it faces a crisis of confidence and execution.

The inaugural Liberal Solutions Summit, hosted by IHS, opens today in Washington, DC. Over the next few days, scholars, builders, and leaders will take five problems we currently face as Americans and try to build consensus around a solution to each: trust in institutions, the future of news, the values built into AI, the psychology of abundance, and the path to energy abundance.

The summit rests on a simple premise: liberal democracy and material abundance depend on people who test ideas against real problems. Follow along for what comes next, as our participants come together to create #liberalsolutions
