Zocalo at the Hammer: Megan McArdle

The Zocalo and the Hammer are coming together to bring you a series of programs that will touch upon some of the most important issues of our time. This week, come join editor and self-described Libertarian Megan McArdle in her lecture on one of the things she believes Americans do best: Fail.

From the Hammer:

"Americans may worship success, but we are also good at failing. Silicon Valley executives highlight rather than bury collapsed start-ups on their resumes, our corporate and personal bankruptcy systems are the most generous in the world, and New Deal-era financial safeguards let banks collapse without destroying sound institutions or personal wealth. New America Foundation fellow, Atlantic magazine business and economic editor, and self-described Libertarian Megan McArdle explains why failure--and the ability to do it gracefully--is an essential part of the American economy.

ALL HAMMER PUBLIC PROGRAMS ARE FREE. Tickets are required, and are available at the Billy Wilder Theater Box Office one hour prior to start time. Limit one ticket per person on a first come, first served basis. Hammer members receive priority seating, subject to availability. Reservations not accepted, RSVPs not required.

Parking is available under the museum for $3 after 6:00pm."
