While visiting D.C. this week for the AEI Annual Dinner, I was able to attend former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and former Governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley’s 2021 Margaret Thatcher Freedom Lecture today at the Heritage Foundation (watch the video above).

The Margaret Thatcher Freedom Lecture honors the principles, ideals, vision, and legacy of Lady Thatcher. Previous lecturers have included former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky, U.S. officials Senator Ted Cruz and Ambassador John Bolton, foreign statesmen including former Australian Prime Minister John Howard and British Member of Parliament Liam Fox, and conservative authors and commentators Charles Krauthammer and Victor Davis Hanson.

In her talk and in the spirit of the Iron Lady, Nikki Haley presented a very compelling case for the significant life-affirming benefits of free-market capitalism that promote, affirm, and nurture the human spirit compared to the destructive and detrimental burdens of socialism that destroy and crush the human spirit. Watch above, highly recommended (Ambassador Haley’s lecture starts at about 6:38).
