The Austrian Scholars Conference, March 17-19, 2005, is shaping up to be a spectacular event.
- Thomas Woods will discuss his new book on American history that draws heavily on the Austrian literature.
- Martin van Creveld, the famed military historian, will apply Austrian themes to the issue of war gaming in which computer models are used to anticipate outcomes (it never works).
- Thomas DiLorenzo will discuss 1913, the year modern statism was born.
- Mark Thornton has new thoughts on the role of Cantillon in the history of thought.
- Robert Nelson of the University of Maryland will talk about the place of religion in the arguments for and against free trade.
- Edward Feser looks at Catholic social teaching in light of Hayek on social justice.
