Here’s the news on tonight’s meeting from our friends at the Auckland Uni Economics Group:
Hi everyone,
Here are some questions to ponder before this evening's discussion:
- Why do people in shanty towns build their furniture before their roofs?
- Why did the Industrial Revolution happen first in England?
- Why do some places produce factories and enormous wealth, while in others all they have are pushcarts and penury?
- How did problems with goats and chickens seven-hundred years ago lead to an enormous humanitarian advance we still enjoy?
- And why might your neighbour want to invoice you for his new flower bed?
Join us tomorrow night to discuss the answers to these questions and much more--and find out what they all have to do with our subject: property rights.
Date: Monday, August 6
Time: 6pm
Where: Room 215, Level 2, Business School Building (OGGB)See you there!
