Fancy a free book?

All you have to do is to attend 'Will robots steal your job?' - Alt Econ & F.A. Hayek Societies today (17/11) and collect your free copy of Dr. Madsen Prie's Freedom 101, courtesy of The Adam Smith Institute

Arrive early to avoid disappointment!

"Freedom 101 is a personal refutation by Dr Madsen Pirie of many of the common errors of economic, political and social debate. He has selected 101 of these erroneous assumptions in order to show why they are not correct. Many of them are in daily circulation as if they were truisms. We are told that, ‘the world is running out of scarce resources’ or that, ‘we should protect the poor by fixing the price of essential goods’. The author shows in his pithy style why these and other assumptions are incorrect. Of his selected 101, some are based on errors of fact, some on false arguments, and many of them on a misunderstanding of how economics works. This is a refreshing book, full of sharp insights to help readers clarify their own thoughts and equip them to bring that same clarity to aid the understanding of others in discussion and debate."

This post was written by Jorge Arnez-Prinzhorn When you hear the word “bestseller”, you normally think of fantasy books, a new novel from Josh Grisham or a biography of a retired politician.
