“The Right Kind of Nothing: Regulation and Finding the Balance Between Government Failure and Market Failure"
I'm discussion leader at a Liberty Fund conference in Alexandria, VA. It's "The Calculus of Consent and Classical Liberalism." Great crowd. Caldwell, Hurd, Lomasky, Lopez, Tarr, Vanberg...and Meg McArdle, with pictures of her enormous dog Fitzgerald! November 7-10.
Monday August 19-Friday August 23: Boom and Bust in America--Parables from Montana. At the Three Forks, MT Sacagawea Hotel. Linked at Free... From the web site....
This seminar will explore social, economic, and ethical aspects of Boom and Bust. This phenomenon is
commonly associated with the c
ol
lapse of mining
. It includes, however, cities that declare bankruptcy or
ones whose primary industries fail. Consider textiles, steel mills, or auto manufacturing, and the
nearly
bankrupt states of California and Illinois.
What valuable lessons can the
Boom and Bust phenomenon offer in helping us ethically respond to today’s
environmental, industrial, governmental, and social justice conflicts?
We will begin at the Gallatin Gateway
Inn with an evening and day of presentations and discussions. An all day
field trip to Butte will give us a
retrospective story on the economic bust of a one
industry town.
Presentations on the Bakken oil developments in Montana and North Dakota will highlight the e
x
citement
and physical and social problems of economic booms
.
How are human needs of tens of thousands of work
ers affecting local communities and life
long residents? What happens when the resource is exhausted?
How can ethical and social justice concerns be addressed and by whom? What kinds of roles can social entrepreneurs play to ameliorate some effects of boom and bust economies?
Presentations and discussions
will focus on these and similar questions...
