In the second of three interviews with Dr. Don Devine, Josh Herring, Dean of Students at Thales Academy, discusses the role of education in promoting civic virtue and the importance of local, public associations. 

Don Devine is a well-respected professor, civil servant, and author with a long career in academia and public service. Devine is also a passionate supporter of  Classical education, and he wrote much of the scope and sequence of our high school program at Thales Academy. He is also the author of a new book, "The Enduring Tension: Capitalism and the Moral Order," that examines the idea of "freedom and [the] tradition moral scaffolding sufficient to hold the walls and preserve the best of capitalist civilization," (from the book's description).  

We have provided links to Don Devine’s new book in the show notes below and to our website for more information about our academic program and our influences.
