Last time we met in Orlando, Bob 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 40 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 in Orlando on Saturday, August 29, 2020 at the Azalea Lodge within Mead Botanical Gardens. Registration is only $20 and includes refreshment breaks. Afterward we will adjourn for no-host lunch at a nearby restaurant. We'll have books by Dr. Newman available for purchase, along with Mises Institute merchandise and free copies of Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson (our new edition!).
