Chapter 24 – FreedomFest: Where Free Minds Meet

Talking Points:  FreedomFest will become the largest freedom conference in the United States. If you get an opportunity attend the next annual conference.

       FreedomFest is an annual festival where "free minds meet" to celebrate "great books, great ideas, and great thinkers" in a liberal, open-minded society.  It is independent, non-partisan, and not affiliated with any organization or think tank.  It's a meeting place for all free thinkers! It is open to anyone who enjoys a wide interest in books, art, music, film, and drama.  Our discussion and debate topics range from philosophy and history; arts and entertainment; public policy and geo-politics; science and technology; economics and finance; to law and religion. FreedomFest attracts people of all walks of life and across the political spectrum to learn, debate and honor great books, great ideas, and great thinkers.

Independent and Non-Partisan  

       FreedomFest is an annual festival where "free minds meet" to celebrate "great books, great ideas, and great thinkers" in a liberal, open-minded society.  It is independent, non-partisan, and not affiliated with any organization or think tank.  Founded and produced by Mark Skousen since 2002, FreedomFest invites the "best and the brightest" from around the world to talk, strategize, socialize, and celebrate liberty.  FreedomFest is open to all and is purely egalitarian, where speakers, attendees, and exhibitors are treated as equals. 

"The Best & the Brightest" Meet Annually in the World's Most Libertarian City

       Since its inception, FreedomFest has met in Las Vegas, the world’s most libertarian city.  Where else can you see a great show, eat at a five-star restaurant, visit a museum, enjoy the entertainment, or see the lights and sounds of the world’s freest resorts and casinos after a long day of intellectual learning and debate?  The date for FreedomFest 2007 is special:  July 4-7, 2007, at Bally’s/Paris Resort in Las Vegas.  (The Festival does not officially begin until Thursday afternoon, July 5th, but for those who would like to be there for the Fourth of July, we are planning a fun evening, including a cocktail reception and watching the fireworks on The Strip.) 

 

This Year's Special Event on 7-7-7

 

        What better time to celebrate liberty than the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, when our Founders gave their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to establish a free land.  This year FreedomFest culminating in an unforgettable Saturday night Liberty Banquet on 70707--July 7, 2007--where Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin will address us. 

 

        Who should attend FreedomFest?  It’s open to anyone who enjoys a wide interest in books, art, music, film, and drama in all topics, including science, philosophy, economics, health, sports, technology, business, religion, law, and politics.  FreedomFest attracts people of all walks of life and across the political spectrum to learn, debate and honor great  books, great ideas, and great thinkers. 

 

Never a Dull Moment:  Here's Why

 

        If you have never attended FreedomFest, you are in for a treat.  FreedomFest is an intense three days.  It's different from any conference you have ever attended.  Have you been to a seminar where you were bored by the speaker?  Well, there's never a dull moment at FreedomFest, because we offer seven sessions simultaneously, including discussions and debates about philosophy and history; arts and entertainment; public policy and geo-politics; science and technology; economics and finance; law and religion. (For those who wish to attend more than one session at a time, we tape all forums and workshops and made them available for sale during the festival.  We sell a lot of audio CDs!)  

 

       Get ready for separate forums on philosophy, science and technology, art and entertainment, economics, geo-politics, finance, and literature, among others.  There’s a debate room, where a new hot topic is debated every hour, general sessions where we hear world-renown experts, and a special one-hour time where we hear 6-7 "bright new stars"--up and coming scholars who have something to contribute.  No other conference in the world offers these opportunities.

FreedomFest is a great annual event for freedom and Tami Holland is the Conference Coordinator. It is not my event and I'm only slightly involved as Tami and Mark Skousen run the show but I really believe it is the leading freedom event of the year and it will be even bigger in 2008. Listed below are my favorite books on freedom and liberty.

How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World  by Harry Browne. Harry wrote this classic book on freedom way back in 1973 and I still rate it as my personal favorite on personal freedom. He lived in Switzerland and published a very successful book on Swiss banks and banking that help set the stage for my interest in Switzerland, the Swiss Franc and the Swiss model of limited government through confederation and citizen direct democracy.
 

Speaking of Liberty by Llewellyn H. Rockwell. Ludwig von Mises said that teaching the public was just as important as addressing scholars  maybe more so. That is what Lew Rockwell specializes in: history and theory and analysis in defense of the free society, written in clear prose to reach a broad audience. Rockwell's new book is as pro-liberty as it is brutally critical of government. It is relentlessly forthright yet hopeful about the prospects for liberty. It is rigorous enough to withstand the enemy's closest scrutiny, and chock full of the energy and enthusiasm that will keep you reading.

Reclaiming Liberty by James Ronald Kennedy. Ron writes that we can no longer afford to depend upon incumbent politicians, party hacks, and business-as-usual conservative leaders to defend our personal freedoms. The past one hundred years have been disastrous for constitutional rights in America. Direct and indirect taxation now consume more than 60 percent of our income--we are no longer the land of the free but have become a land of tax serfs. Government interference in our social life has grown from almost nothing in 1900 to almost overwhelming today. Over the past century America’s politicians transformed the U.S.A. from the land of individual liberty and personal accountability to a land of socialist feudalism.

How Capitalism Saved America by Thomas Dilorenzo. Tom has written a great defense of free-enterprise and capitalism in America as he debunks many historical myths from a libertarian and freedom oriented perspective. This books follows his controversial book on Lincoln which leads the way in showing the economic factors behind the War Between the States that have been hidden from view by Lincoln apologists.

Taking America Back by Joseph Farah. According to Joseph Farah, Americans are faced with an unresponsive and unaccountable one-party political system, an establishment propaganda machine posing as a free press, and cultural institutions—educational, charitable, entertainment, religious, medical, and others—seduced by the materialist gods of an all-powerful secular state. Even more important, the crisis this represents cannot be resolved through the political system by electing new politicians to office. A much more profound, long-term, and fundamental shift if needed, one that rejects the validity of the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-controlling state and affirms the values upon which the American nation was founded

FreedomFest is simply about freedom and liberty. It brings together a wide range of conservatives, libertarians, Austrian economists, anti-war groups and free-market believers in a broad conference environment where free ideas and solutions to problems are discussed and debated. It is worth attending if you value freedom regardless of where you are located on the political spectrum. - Ron Holland
