Anybody want to get together for conversation in Shanghai?

Hello,

I just found this group. I'm a USA citizen working in Shanghai since August '09.

I would like to get together with anyone interested in libertarian stuff for drinks and conversation (in English) in Shanghai.

Bringing Down the Dragon: How to Liberate China

patientliberty7 — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 01:31:56 GMT

I consider myself a libertarian after Karl Hess's heart; theory is nice, but action is what counts in the end. While some economic liberalizations have prevailed in China, personal freedom continues to suffer under the CPC's iron heel. Hacker's have struck some blows against the Great Firewall, but that has not slowed down the Leviathan.

I'm interested in finding ways to destroy statism worldwide, not just at home. How might we help the people of China? Counter-Economics? Samizdat? I eagerly await your suggestions.

What is the Chinese intellectual class?

Terry Hulsey — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:48:48 GMT

In the West, there are countless institutions to nuture thinkers who wish to influence government policy. For example: lobbyists, academe, think tanks, opinion-shaping media of all kinds (newpapers, magazines, radio, TV, Internet). In general, this means two groups: Those with direct access to policymakers, and those who influence the clients of the policymakers.

Now in China, clearly these institutions where intellectuals influence policy do not exist. Why should they? Chinese government officials are not publicly and directly approachable; and they have no clients who can remove them from office.

So my question to the forum is: What is the Chinese intellectual class? I do not mean "smart people" or "those who have read more than 50 books." I mean thinkers who want to influence policy. Surely there is some way of getting ideas in front of those who make the laws and distribute the wealth of China, and possibly this way is superior to U.S. lawmakers rushing to pass bills after getting phone calls following a 60 Minutes broadcast. But what are the actual mechanics of this process, and what are the institutions that support it?

Is there a branch of Mises Institute in China?

Have you guys ever tried to order some books in the Mises Institute online store?

I recently saw that there are books stores on baidu selling books on Austrian economics which are not expensive.

Press of Zhe Jiang University has recently published two introductory books on Austrian Economics

Nicolas Dong — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 02:35:28 GMT

I don't know the English title. Maybe called Austrian School in America & Modern Fundamentals of Austrian Economics .

I'm hoping that profs in ZJU know sth about Austrian School. Thus I have pretty much things to discuss with them when I enter into it.
