“Is America’s Economic Liberty in Peril?”

Sheraton Seattle Hotel
Seattle, Washington
May 24-25, 2010

For America’s Founders, the right to property was a right by nature, and securing the right to property was one of their chief concerns in framing the Constitution.

Today, the free market system that was a natural outgrowth of the right to property seems to many Americans to be endangered. As in the 1930s, there is an argument as to whether massive government intervention in the economy threatens to destroy the free market system or is the only hope of saving it.

This National Leadership Seminar will assess the American economy, evaluate recent economic policy, and consider future prospects.
