Classical Liberalism and Business Seminar
July 21st – 27th | University of Illinois Springfield
This seminar is designed for undergraduate and early-stage graduate students.
At this seminar we will explore classical liberalism, and the voluntary choice those principles are rooted in, and how to apply them in theory and practice to business.
Using practical examples, personal experiences from working businesspeople and entrepreneurs, and the work of Adam Smith, F.A. Hayek, Milton Friedman and others, we will explore how the application of classical liberal principles provides a foundation for business that can improve the lives of the individuals they serve.
Our approach to business is different from just learning the skills of Accounting, Marketing, Management, Finance, etc. It is learning how these areas function together within the principles of classical liberalism.
This seminar is designed for undergraduate and early-stage graduate students and will be conducted by scholars from the University of Illinois at Springfield, Wabash College, AIER, and other classical liberal academics at universities.
This Seminar is co-sponsored by Academy on Capitalism and the American Institute for Economic Research. Students are provided with all meals, accommodations, and a $500 travel stipend to help attend the conference.
Deadline to apply is June 9, 2024. Applicants will be notified of status within two weeks of the application deadline.
