We are happy to invite you to join Phil Harvey and Lisa Conyers for a discussion, Welfare for the Rich, hosted by Dr. Wolf von Laer, CEO at Students For Liberty. The webinar will take place on Thursday, October 22, 2020 at 11:00 AM EST.
The CEO of Students For Liberty, Dr. Wolf von Laer, will be interviewing entrepreneur, philanthropist and author Phil Harvey, and consultant to private clients and think tanks, and co-author Lisa Conyers, who both wrote The Human Cost of Welfare.
Phil Harvey is chairman and a major shareholder of Adam & Eve, a mail order business that sells products for a better sex life. As a philanthropist, Harvey became concerned about the problems of global hunger and lack of family planning during a stint with the international charity CARE in India. Harvey used the profits from Adam & Eve to found DKT International, which provides family planning and HIV/AIDS prevention programs in more than twenty countries in the developing world. Harvey also co-founded Population Services International, which today operates in almost 70 countries. Harvey’s combination of business and social interests led Mother Jones magazine to dub him a “hardcore philanthropist.”
