ANNOUNCEMENTS

McCloskeyWe are thrilled to announce that the prolific economist Dr. Deirdre McCloskey will be delivering the Sunday keynote address at ISFLC  on February 15th from 12:00-1:00 pm, thanks to our friends at the Institute for Humane Studies!

A Distinguished Professor of Economics, History, English, and Communication at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Deirdre McCloskey has written fourteen books and edited seven more, and has published some three hundred and sixty articles on economic theory, economic history, philosophy, rhetoric, feminism, ethics, and law.

She is known as a “conservative” economist, University-of-Chicago style (she taught for 12 years there), but protests that “I’m a literary, quantitative, postmodern, free-market, progressive Episcopalian, Midwestern woman from Boston who was once a man. Not ‘conservative’! I’m a Christian libertarian.”

logo_black-300x97We’re excited to have Reason as a Silver Level sponsor this year at the 8th Annual International Students For Liberty Conference! Reason is the monthly print magazine of “free minds and free markets.” It covers politics, culture, and ideas through a provocative mix of news, analysis, commentary, and reviews. Reason provides a refreshing alternative to right-wing and left-wing opinion magazines by making a principled case for liberty and individual choice in all areas of human activity.

Reason has some fantastic sessions this year, and their Executive Director Nick Gillespie will be moderating Friday night’s discussion with Ron Paul and Judge Napolitano. The sessions are listed below:

General Sessions

 

How to Make the Libertarian Moment Permanent: Reason’s Guide to the 21st Century

Panel moderated by Nick Gillespie

Breakout Sessions

 

Nick Gillespie, Veronique de Rugy, Robby Soave, Screwing You with Your Pants On

Who could have imagined that the drug hazed youth of our parents generation would morph into the largest American demographic that relies on government. Baby boomers are single handedly increasing the national debt through ridiculous pension promises and federal entitlements and you’re paying for it all.

Katherine Mangu-Ward, Elizabeth Brown, Ron Bailey, Good news! Robots are going to take your job and have sex with your partner

Driverless cars, Amazon package drones, and automated McDonald’s cashiers are on the verge of reshaping the modern economy–and that’s just the beginning. Will the jobs they displace cause unique hardship or opportunity for civilization to grow? Also, sexbots.

Ron Bailey, The End of Doom: More Reasons to Hate Boomers

Ron Bailey’s new 2015 book called The End of Doom rebukes the health and environmental alarmism of too many pundits in America. With falling cancer rates, reduced costs of clean energy, population stability, and innovative cures to pollution Bailey offers a balanced and hopeful vision of humanity’s future.
