The Liberty and Markets program offers a deeper look into the core issues at the intersection of truth, liberty, and economics for alumni of Acton’s Towards a Free and Virtuous Society and Acton University programs.

Utilizing a format of three lectures and six Socratic discussion sessions, each conference provides an environment of intense dialogue and exploration. To insure active engagement with both the ideas and faculty, participation is capped at 15 attendees per event.

The program is intellectually demanding; participants are required to do advanced reading (approximately 250 pages) and must be prepared to offer comments and defend their views throughout the weekend.
