Mises Institute in Orlando: The Real State of the Union

Photos of this event are available at Mises.org/Orlando19. Audio recordings are also available.

At the end of January 2019, Donald Trump will deliver his annual state of the union speech. But what is the real state of life in America? Why are we so divided, politically and otherwise? How fragile is the economy, and how much longer can debt and deficits go unaddressed? Will culture wars destroy any remaining sense of a shared American vision? Is a cold civil war—or worse—inevitable?

Join economist Robert Murphy, Mises Institute president Jeff Deist, Praxis apprentice Lena Wang, and talk radio host David Gornoski for a radical and unvarnished look at the state of America in 2019. As always, we'll apply an Austrian, revisionist, and libertarian perspective to the facts and rhetoric coming out of Washington, DC. You won't want to miss it!

• Robert Murphy: The Real State of the Economy

We'll meet on the University of Central Florida campus in Orlando on Satu​rday, February 16, 2019. The event takes place at the Live Oak Center (4115 Pyxis Lane, Orlando) from 9:30 a.m. – Noon.

Registration is only $20, and we'll have coffee, tea, and snacks available. Dr. Murphy will have copies of his most recent book Contra Krugman on hand to sign for you. Afterward we'll convene for a no-host lunch at 4-Rivers UCF, 11764 University Blvd. for networking and further discussion with our speakers.
