In a civic environment polluted with anger, judgement and blame, it strikes us that we’ve moved too far away from a focus on virtues that keep us individually – and a society – healthy and grounded. Ben Franklin wrote about 13 classic virtues that seem in short supply these days – like moderation, humility and temperance. We’re delighted to be partner this with 92Y’s project Ben Franklin Circles. You can read about the project in The Wall Street Journal.
