Each student will get an opportunity to interact with the greatest minds from all over the world. Successful applicants will also get access to the Liberty International Alumni Group. During the last session, we will be joined by the author of the book himself. There will be a possibility to interact with the author and ask questions.

The third edition of Socratic Reading Circles will once again discuss the “How to Think about the Economy: A Primer”, written by Per Bylund.

You will gain life-changing understanding of how the economy works in practically no time.

Application open until May 29, 2023. Apply by filling out the form below.

About the book

How to Think about the Economy: A Primer

This little book was written to accomplish something big: economic literacy. It is intentionally kept very short to be inviting rather than intimidating. You will gain life-changing understanding of how the economy works in practically no time.

Per Bylund will make you excited about what economics has to offer. Because economic literacy is mind-opening. Sound economic reasoning is an enormously powerful tool for understanding both the economy and society. Economic literacy uncovers what is going on under the surface and why things work out as they do. There is no magic to it. In fact, economic literacy is necessary to properly understand the world.

Short, direct, axiomatically unassailable, and devastating to the mythology of modern economics. This book not only promote Mises’ views, but refutes and attacks the tragicomic orthodoxy of today’s economics mainstream.

Our Vision

Our vision is simple: we want to make freedom a global matter. All our activities aim at bringing philosophy of liberty closer to every person around the world. We believe that it doesn’t matter where we start as long as we build relations. This is why most of the people we work with are students and recent graduates.
