This conference will introduce high school teachers and administrators to classic authors and key concepts in free market economics. The intention is to go beyond basic matters of supply and demand and efficiency concerns to consider the broader social and institutional ramifications of a free market system. Themes such as the religious roots of capitalism, protectionism, and financial crises will be explored in a mixture of lectures and Socratic discussion.
This conference, co-sponsored by Liberty Fund, Inc., is part of the Liberty and Markets series.
