Lessons From History We Dare Not Ignore

Northwood University recently held its 31st annual Freedom Seminar, which is just what it sounds like: a 3 day seminar that covers all issues related to liberty including history, economics, politics, and everything in between.  The Freedom Seminar was begun by Lawrence W. Reed, the current President of the Foundation for Economic Education, when he was a professor of economics at Northwood.  31 years later, Mr. Reed was invited to deliver the Keynote Address at the start of the seminar.  His speech, Lessons From History We Dare Not Ignore, presents an insightful analysis of past social dilemas, their similarity with contemporary problems, and solutions we should have learned.  (In addition to his many prestigious roles with Northwood, FEE, and the Mackinac Center, Mr. Reed is on Students For Liberty’s Board of Advisors.)
