Co-Editor Fred Foldvary has been invited to be a contributor to a blogging symposium about “Libertarianism and Land” put on by the Bleeding Heart Libertarians consortium. Here are the details:
I’m very pleased to announce that from April 23-27 of 2012, the Bleeding Heart Libertarian blog will be hosting a virtual symposium on the topic of “Libertarianism and Land!”
The five day event will explore different libertarian perspectives on questions pertaining to the moral justification of and limits on property rights in land. Each day will feature a keynote post from one of our main participants. The other main participants will have the opportunity to respond with posts of their own, and the general public is welcome to participate in the comments thread.
We’ve lined up some terrific people for this event. Our main participants will be:
- Eric Mack – Professor of Philosophy at Tulane University
- Hillel Steiner – Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Manchster
- Fred Foldvary – Lecturer in Economics at Santa Clara University
- Kevin Carson – Blogger and author
- David Schmidtz – Professor of Philosophy and Economics at the University of Arizona
More information to follow as the date draws nearer. I hope you’ll join us for what I think will be a fascinating discussion!
Do be sure to tune in to Bleeding Heart Libertarians all that week. I am sure that many good things will come of this, especially since Fred Foldvary was one of the few people in the world to accurately predict the housing bubble collapse based upon his knowledge and understand of land and its connection to the economy.
