    Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, journalist John Stossel and political activist Ralph Nader will deliver public lectures and sign copies of their books at Vanderbilt University March 30-31 as part of the university’s annual Impact Symposium.

     

    The theme of this year’s lectures is “The Future of Capitalism.” Nader and Stossel will speak Tuesday, March 30, at 8 p.m. in a point-counterpoint discussion titled “Business or the Consumer First?” Romney’s talk on “American Capitalism in the World” is scheduled for Wednesday, March 31, at 7:00pm. Both lectures will be held in Vanderbilt’s Langford Auditorium.

    Romney currently serves as the honorary chairman of the Free and Strong America Political Action Committee. In 2008, he made a bid for the Republican presidential nomination. He was elected governor of Massachusetts in 2002.

    Stossel, an award-winning journalist, is best known for his work as co-anchor of ABC News’ “20/20.” Last year he joined Fox News Channel to host the weekly program “Stossel” on Fox Business Network and to make regular appearances on Fox News Channel.

    An attorney and four-time presidential candidate, Nader first made headlines with a 1965 book, Unsafe at Any Speed, which denounced the auto industry for producing unsafe vehicles. The book led to congressional hearings and a series of automobile safety laws passed in 1966.
