2008 Liberty Editors Conference

Our Editors Conferences are beloved by speakers and attendees alike. If you haven't joined us at one of these intellectual feasts, or if you want to experience them again, now is the time. Discover the fun, camaraderie, and intellectual stimulation our conferences offer!

Speech / PanelOrder
IQ, Race, and Gender • Charles Murray and David Friedman pull no punches and respect no taboos. Conference attendees found out which aspect of IQ Charles Murray didn’t dare discuss in “The Bell Curve.” Now you can hear what Murray and Friedman really think! CD ($7.00)
Eco-Crazies and Energy • Randal O’Toole, Doug Casey, and Jim Walsh explore energy policy: what’s good, what’s bad, and what’s just plain nuts. After you listen to this, you’ll never again find yourself on the defensive when the subject is energy or the environment. CD ($7.00)
The War (on Drugs) to End All Wars • Bruce Ramsey, Jo Ann Skousen, and Jim Walsh begin by exposing the hypocrisy that motivates “drug warriors,” continue by discussing the damage wrought by the never-ending War on Drugs, and finish by drawing up a blueprint for reforming our drug laws. CD ($7.00)
Schools Against Education • Gary Jason, David Friedman, and Jo Ann Skousen explain why public schools don’t care about educating children, and debate the proper remedy. This is much more than another argument for vouchers or privatization! The panel covers a wide range of topics, from the performance of students in various environments, to what subjects should be taught, to what makes a good teacher, to the most effective ways of teaching. CD ($7.00)
The Housing Market — Bubble and Bailout • Randal O’Toole, Bruce Ramsey, and Jim Walsh discuss careless homebuyers ... and the politicians who can be counted on to clean up their mess at your expense. Liberty’s experts explain what really happened, and where and when we’ll see the next bubble. CD ($7.00)
Learning from the Socialists: An Action Plan for Promoting Liberty • Randal O’Toole explains why socialism remains popular despite its miserable track record. More importantly, he explains how libertarians can use similar techniques to increase individual freedom. CD ($7.00)
Future Imperfect • David Friedman analyzes the technologies that will be used to control the populace — and the tools that will enable you to fight back. Government agencies have an ever-expanding array of tools designed to monitor and restrict your behavior. Can you afford not to learn how you can protect yourself? CD ($7.00)
Legal Systems Very Different From Ours • David Friedman regales his audience with a fascinating exposition on real-world legal systems. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s plausible to do away with police, what kind of system a “mad economist” might devise, or what happens when rulers are selected by lottery, you must listen to this one! All these systems, and many more, have been used with varying degrees of success. CD ($7.00)
The Complete 2008 Liberty Editors Conference • Much more for less! Every minute of each of these panels and presentations. Doug Casey, David Friedman, Gary Jason, Charles Murray, Randal O’Toole, Bruce Ramsey, and Jo Ann Skousen lecture, discuss, debate, and argue about almost everything under the sun. CDs ($49.95)
