ISI's National Leadership Conference in Indianapolis, IN, has been rescheduled to October 10, 2009.
ISI National Leadership Conference
October 10, 2009
Location
Hyatt Regency Indianapolis
1 South Capitol Avenue
Indianapolis, IN 46204
This event is complimentary, and open to all ISI members and supporters.
Program Overview
The global financial crisis has prompted Americans to question the very foundations of our nation’s economic system. Politicians, academics, and voters who had previously stood as stalwart defenders of the free market and limited government are now lobbying for massive economic solutions which place the federal government at the center of the nation’s recovery.
Join ISI in Indianapolis on October 10 to discuss conservative reaction to the crisis and the viable solutions available. How do free markets fit into a broader conservative understanding of man and society? How does the present situation compare with past recessions? Can short-term government intervention be followed by a return to market freedom, or has an increasing reliance on federal intervention been at the core of the problem? What is the role of citizens in the recovery, and what adjustments must be made for free markets to flourish again?
Attendance is free and open to ISI members and supporters.
