Young Americans for Liberty is a dynamic student group with chapters all over the country, so I’m happy to be participating in this regional conference in the Detroit suburb of Southfield.
Title and description of my talk:
“Why Young Socialists Don’t Love Us — But They Should”
Description: “The historical record of socialist poverty and brutality is clear, and we free-market liberals have strong economic and political arguments on our side. Yet many idealistic young people find socialism appealing and give free markets at best lukewarm appreciation. Why? In this talk, Dr. Stephen Hicks will argue that the *ethical* framing of the debate is critical: Who has the moral, idealistic high ground in the great debate over socialism versus free markets?”
Thanks to everyone at The Atlas Society for making my participation possible.
