Political Philosophy, Politics and Law, U.Va.

Tuesday, April 21st at 3:30 pm in the Gibson Library at Cocke Hall, PPL and the BB&T Colloquium are proud to welcome George Mason University's Peter Boettke!

Professor Boettke will be presenting his appropriately timely and salient paper, "Whatever Happened to Efficient Markets?". In a time of financial stress and economic distress, Professor Boettke's paper comes to answer the question of what role a free market has to play in today's world. On behalf of PPL, I want to invite and highly encourage you to come join Professor Boettke for discussion and analysis of his paper next Tuesday. Download the paper here to read before attending the lecture.

Buchanan Center for Political Economy, a Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center, and a distinguished professor in George Mason University's renowned economics department. A former National Fellow at the Hoover Institution for War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University, and a current editor of the Review of Austrian Economics, Professor Boettke is known for his work on socialism and Austrian economics. He is also involved with the Global Prosperity Initiative in the Social Change Project at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, and seeks analytical narrative approaches to the institutional analysis of development and transition studies.
