Event: Reception in Kiev

27 March 09
Kiev Reception,
"Why Nationalization and More Government Intervention
are not the Solution: A Rational Agenda at a Time of Crisis"

with the Atlas Economic Research Foundation

Featuring a presentation by:
Dr. Tom Palmer

General Director of the Atlas Global Initiative for Free Trade, Peace and Prosperity

and comments by:
Peter Kaznacheev

International Director of the Mercurius Society

Politicians and some pundits insist that the origins of the 2008 crisis were in the lack of regulation and have called for nationalization and greater command-and-control regulation. Before prescribing remedies, however, it’s best to diagnose the causes of the financial crisis and then to identify remedies based on sound understanding of economic processes. The reception in Kiev addressed these issues with a public lecture and inaugural reception of the Mercurius Society in Kiev.
