"I think it a tragedy that in a country which has inspired many others to adopt market-oriented reforms, so few of our young people have any awareness of the basic principles that inform the case for the free society. As a university lecturer, I despair at the ignorance of classical liberal principles that students exhibit though this ignorance is understandable given the continuing dominance of the far left in many of our higher educational institutions. Freedom Week will provide a superb opportunity to bring together some of the brightest and most open-minded students and to expose them to the underlying philosophical and economic principles that form the bedrock for a free society."
