Next week the Mont Pelerin Society meets in Sydney (Australia). An all-star cast of speakers will address a range of topics under the general theme of The 21st Century Liberal Enlightenment.
The speakers include some locals, among them Sinclair Davidson (academic and Catallaxy blogger), Noel Pearson (Aboriginal leader), Paul Kelly (journalist and author) and John Howard (ex Prime Minister) and some big names from offshore like Harold Demsetz, Terence Kealey, Chandran Kukathas, Deepak Lal and Ken Minogue.
The main program runs from Registration on Sundey 10 to the Closing Dinner on Friday 15. There is a stunning recreational program for partners who want to get out and about and see the Rocks, walk to Manly and take in an Aboriginal tribal experience. They all get to see a sheep station. And I hope that a DVD of Wake in Fright was sent out with the letters of invitation to orientate visitors to the authentic old Australia before it was undermined by foreigners and latte-sippers.
