Regional Seminar: Economic Freedom

America’s Founders held that economic freedom is inseparable from political liberty and essential to human flourishing. Drawing on the insights of thinkers like Adam Smith, they rejected state control and mercantilism in favor of private property, voluntary exchange, and free enterprise. The Constitution reflects this conviction by limiting government power to tax, regulate, and redistribute, safeguarding economic liberty as a moral and practical necessity. This program will reaffirm that free markets and limited government remain the surest foundation for opportunity, innovation, and human flourishing.
