Philosophy Roundtable: The merits of economic liberty

Please join us this Sunday as we discuss the merits of economic liberty.

We will meet at the Queensberry Hotel, 593 Swanston Street, Carlton (100m north of previous location) at 2pm for a 2:15pm start sharp.
We kindly ask attendees to pay $5 to attend to help with MeetUp costs & venue costs. This is not mandatory, but if you are a regular member it would be appreciated. Any extra moneys will go towards buying food and drinks for the table. The venue also expects us to spend money as a group, so grateful if everyone could buy a drink from the venue.

There is no pre-requisite preparation necessary, nor a philosophical background, all that is required is a curious mind. These discussions are both a Socrates Cafe style discussion and lively metaphysical dojo, in the spirit of learning and friendly debate, so please feel free to challenge assumptions and be prepared to have your own assumptions challenged.

This event is also posted in the Socrates Cafe group.

Find below some questions or topics to consider, however these are free-ranging events and the below serve as a springboard for the discussion:

• Economic liberty as personal independence
• Economic liberty as prosperity
• Economic liberty as protection from concentrated power
• Economic liberty as pluralism
• Economic liberty as discipline and responsibility
• Does economic liberty mean liberty for the already powerful?
• Does economic liberty undermine solidarity and community?
• Can economic liberty generate domination rather than independence?

Hope to see you there!
