Arthur Brooks, President of the American Enterprise Institute, spoke at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum on entrepreneurship and creative solutions that work at the margins of society. After delivering an address, Brooks was joined onstage by moderator Leah Wright Rigueur, Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School.
