On Samuel Gregg's 'Next American Economy'

In essence, Gregg argues that a free-market economy creates the foundation for pursuing a life of virtue.  This is an interesting point as this was something that our founders were most likely thinking of when they signed off on the phrase “pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence.  As serious and learned men, they would have been heavily influenced by classical philosophers who believed that a life of virtue was how one obtained happiness.
