On November 3 2013 economists, philosophers, lawyers and politicians will come together to discuss ideas of liberty. Not one of those boring conferences with mumbling speakers and yawning audience! It’s the venue for guests of all ages and from across Russia and beyond get to know other interesting people and have a chance to participate in a lively debate.
What’s the difference between freedom for all and free-for-all? Where does the invisible hand of the market point? What causes economic crises? What kind of reform will be needed in Russia? What’s the difference between Right and the Law? Who will build the roads? What hidden dangers lurk in democracy? Where do monopolies come from? Who is John Galt?
