This panel took place at the Atlas Liberty Forum 2009 in Los Angeles, CA.
Antony Fisher's book, Must History Repeat Itself (1974), contained a list of eleven priorities for economic reform. The top two concerned eliminating government meddling in the value of money. During the low-inflation "long boom" of 1983-2000, the topic of Sound Money seemed to lose its salience, but the troubling monetary and fiscal policy responses to today's financial crisis remind us of the fundamental importance of Sound Money to the cause of freedom. This session will provide both constructive policy ideas, and thoughts on how think tanks can improve the policy debate.
Moderator: Alex Chafuen
Speakers:
Gerald O'Driscoll, Cato Institute
Petar Ivanovic, The Institute for Strategic Studies and Prognoses
Feng Xingyuan, Cathay Institute, China
