Last time we met in Orlando, Dr. Murphy mentioned how much worse our political and social divide would be if the economy crashed like 2008. Now we face this very problem—with COVID-19 lockdowns and George Floyd protests decimating the economy and social media exposing raw animosity along racial and "woke" lines. Congress and the Fed have gone into overdrive creating new stimulus and "liquidity," but forty million Americans are unemployed and major cities are still recovering from turmoil. The national debt tops $26 trillion, while tax receipts at all levels of government plummet.
So what does it all mean for you, for freedom, and for the future of America—economic and otherwise? You won't want to miss this freewheeling discussion!
We'll meet on the University of Central Florida campus in Orlando on Saturday, August 29, 2020. Registration is only $20, with coffee, tea, soft drinks, and donuts served. Afterward we will adjourn for no-host barbeque lunch at nearby 4 Rivers Smokehouse. We'll have books by Dr. Murphy available for purchase, along with Mises Institute merchandise and free copies (our new edition!) of Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson.
