Hillsdale College today opened registration for its latest hostel program, “Economic Theories and Controversies.” At this interactive Hillsdale Hostel course, participants will learn about the theories of free market economics, theories that oppose the free market, and economic controversies of the twentieth century and of today.

“Economic Theories and Controversies” will be held July 10-16 on Hillsdale College’s campus in Hillsdale, Michigan. Lodging, meals, lectures, and other activities are covered by a $950 per person registration fee. Commuter rates are available.

“The Hillsdale Hostel program offers an experience like no other on any college campus,” said Peggy Youngs, director of the Hillsdale Hostel program. “Participants will learn from the same professors who teach our bright and ambitious students during the regular semester. These professors are riveting teachers, and know free market economics as deeply as anyone. Their insight and understanding illuminate today’s economic issues as well.”

Often referred to as “a vacation in the world of ideas,” Hillsdale Hostel programs are multi-day seminars that give students of all ages an opportunity to study a variety of subjects, including economics, history, politics, and religion, with Hillsdale’s nationally renowned faculty—the same professors who teach undergraduate and graduate students during the academic year.

For more information or to register, go to hillsdalehostel.com, email [email protected], or call (888) 886-1174. Space is limited, and hostel programs regularly sell out, so early registration is encouraged.
