Workshop on “Common Law Liberalism”

November 11, 2022 @ 9:00 am 4:15 pm

On November 11, the Georgetown Institute for the Study of Markets and Ethics will hold a manuscript workshop on a draft of John Hasnas’s new book, Common Law Liberalism: A Memoir. Steven Wall, Peter Leeson, Ilya Somin, and Mihailis Diamantis along with members of the Institute will provide critical comment on the draft. The author notes that this is a first draft that is quite lengthy and probably needs some tightening and welcomes comment from any and all interested parties.

The event will be held in the Hariri building, room 310.
