l Summary: Critics blame the free market for just about every social ill, whether real or imagined. So it was a dream come true for many of them when financial institutions collapsed in late 2008. The main narrative told by such critics is that the "unregulated" market destroyed the economy, leaving the federal government no choice but to bail out reckless institutions. But do critics have the story right? Were government bailouts the only option? Did an unregulated market cause the economic meltdown? Come join the Center for Free Enterprise for a roundtable discussion with a leading free market economist who challenges that narrative. He will also discuss a wide range of free market solutions to controversial political issues.
