Markets, Socialism, and Liberty
ABSTRACT
Various challenges from socialists in the last few decades have caused classical liberal economists to reconsider and reformulate their defenses of the market. This conference studied these debates to provide insights into the workings of the market economy. The readings provided further insight into the causes of the recession at the time of the conference, the road to recovery, and the state of the public dialogue about capitalism and socialism.
