DETAILS
At this seminar we will explore classical liberalism in theory and in
practice. During our time together, we will examine the origins of
classical liberalism, beginning with discussion of the emergence and
development of classical liberal thought in the work of Hobbes, Locke,
the American Founders, and others.
Using the work of Adam Smith, F.A. Hayek, Milton Friedman, Robert
Nozick, and others alongside contemporary classical liberals including
Deirdre McCloskey, Robert Higgs, Terry Anderson, James Otteson, and
others, we will explore how the application of classical liberal
principles impacts both individuals as well as whole societies. We
conclude by examining how those principles suggest better approaches
to government, public policy, and social organization.
This seminar is designed for undergraduate students and early stage
graduate students and will be conducted by scholars from Wabash
College, AIER, and other classical liberal academics at universities.
This Seminar is co-sponsored by The Stephenson Institute at Wabash
College and The American Institute for Economic Research. Students
are provided with all meals, accommodations, and travel to the
conference.
Deadline to apply is May 5, 2025.
Students are expected to attend all lectures and scheduled activities
throughout the week.
