Join the Mises Institute in Tampa, Florida, for the fifth year in a row on Saturday, February 22, for an event on educating for liberty.
Speakers include: Tom DiLorenzo, Mises Institute president; Jonathan Newman, Mises Henry Hazlitt Research Fellow; Timothy Terrell, Mises Senior Fellow and T.B. Stackhouse Professor of Economics at Wofford College; and Jason Jewell, chief academic officer of the Florida University system. They will speak on their experiences in academia, the future of education, and promising alternatives to state-controlled education.
Education is a critical arena in the battle of ideas. It’s why the Mises Institute is dedicated to teaching and promoting Austrian economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard. The only way to achieve a free society is by countering, debunking, and replacing state propaganda with sound economics and critical thinking.
