Cooperation Without Coercion:
The Beauty of Voluntary Society
Silver Cloud Hotel Tacoma, Ruston, WA | Saturday, March 28 | 8 a.m. PT
The mood of the
moment is simple:
Raise tariffs, pick winners, punish the “bad” companies, and make the economy obey.
But is that strength, or expensive theater? When trade becomes a target and competition turns political, what happens to the real engine of prosperity: entrepreneurs building, customers choosing, and supply chains adapting fast?
Join FEE President Diogo Costa and FEE President Emeritus Lawrence W. Reed for breakfast and lively conversation on the America that builds, and how to talk about free markets in an age of national populism.
