The New York County Lawyers Association s proud to present its latest episode: Promoting Common Sense and the Freedom to Take Responsibility: A Discussion with Attorney Philip K. Howard. Our host Daniel K. Wiig sat down with Mr. Howard to discuss the ideas of common good, human agency, common sense government, and personal responsibility in the age of big government.
Philip K. Howard is a New York Times bestselling author, lawyer, and advocate to simplify government and restore individual responsibility. Beginning with his book The Death of Common Sense in 1995, Philip has written about the central role of human responsibility in a functioning government—the freedom to make timely choices, and to be accountable for them. In 2002, he formed Common Good, a nonpartisan coalition to champion these ideas. Mr. Howard's 2010 TED Talk has been viewed by more than 750,000 people. His 2015 report, “Two Years, Not Ten Years: Redesigning Infrastructure Approvals” exposed the economic and environmental costs of delayed infrastructure approvals, and its proposals have since been incorporated into federal law. Philip has appeared often on television and radio. A graduate of Yale College and the University of Virginia Law School, he is presently Senior Counsel at the law firm Covington & Burling, LLP
