Evaluate solutions to current challenges using a dynamic framework that utilizes the power of markets and preserves individual rights. Improve your understanding of how governments work and your ability to analyze proposed policies. Consider the implications of this framework on contemporary issues such as health care, school choice, the drug war, disaster relief, guns, environmental policy, corporate ethics, immigration, and terrorism. Pick up career tips from experts such as leading academics, top policy scholars, and others.

 

     
 

"Liberty & Current Issues was a blitzkrieg of classical liberal ideas—four years of college condensed into six days. The lens of liberty is a very helpful filter through which to view the world, and the fine faculty helped me hone the prescription on my goggles."

- Michael Lynch, University of Washington
