For over fifty years, we have hosted intellectually stimulating speakers, providing business leaders, educators, and students with opportunities to engage with leading economic and business scholars.
Our mission is to foster a deeper understanding of individual freedom and responsibility through discussions on economic, moral, and philosophical principles.
