  • 33rd Annual Monetary Conference: Panel 4: The Fed's Exit Strategy vs. Fundamental Problem
    Since the 2008 financial crisis, there has been a convergence of monetary policies by major central banks aimed at keeping benchmark interest rates near zero and supporting asset prices in the hope of stimulating economic growth. Yet global growth is still sluggish and the risk of asset bubbles is mounting. The distinguished speakers at this conference will consider the risks of unconventional monetary policy, the steps that need to be taken to normalize policy, and the fundamental question of rules versus discretion in the conduct of monetary policy.

  • The Evolution of Everything: How New Ideas Emerge
    The way human history is taught is misleading, argues Matt Ridley. Far too much emphasis is placed on the “top-down twitch” — the belief that change comes from on high: the politicians who run countries, scientists who discover truths, inventors who make breakthroughs, men and women who head companies. In fact, Ridley says, bottom-up progress through evolution is far more crucial. From the natural forces that formed the universe and human life itself to the cultural mechanisms that have shaped everything from our educational system and global financial structure, to the products we buy and the language we speak, “evolution is far more common, and far more influential, than most people recognize.”

  • Taking a Stand: Reflections on Life, Liberty, and the Economy

    Economist and historian Robert Higgs has advanced our understanding of the causes, means, and effects of government power and the need to deconstruct statism and re-establish institutions that protect and advance liberty, prosperity, and peace. His work has engaged such issues as health care, the environment, law and economics, urban development, race discrimination, agriculture, immigration, war and peace, economic development, government spending and debt, welfare, money and banking, presidential power, civil liberties, the Great Depression, science, unemployment, and far more.

    His new book offers general readers keen analysis and engaging wit, informed by humility and compassion. Higgs examines the moral and practical imperatives of individual liberty, entrepreneurship and innovation, peace, economic growth, personal responsibility, civic virtue, and the rule of law. Taking a Stand’s 99 short, accessible chapters present a powerful and uplifting vision for the future.

  • Eurasian Economic Integration: Implications for Regional Growth, Global Trade, and U.S.-Russia Relations
    Many people have heard of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, two prospective “mega-regional” trade agreements involving the United States. But less is known about some of the other trade and economic architecture that is emerging across the globe. For example, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is a customs and economic union among Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and the Russian Federation, which took effect on January 1 of this year. The EAEU plans to expand to include other countries in the immediate region and to forge union-wide free trade agreements with external countries, as it already has with Vietnam.What exactly is the EAEU and what are its rules and goals?  How does it complement or clash with World Trade Organization rules? What does this relatively new entity mean for regional trade and investment?  How will the emergence and evolution of the EAEU interplay with the TPP, TTIP, other mega-regionals, and the WTO?  And, lastly, how might it affect Russia’s relations with the West?Please join us for a discussion of these and other relevant questions.
