The LRI Symposia aim to regularly bring together people who would like to discuss over a good meal the foundations and prospects of liberty. Each event will have a topic, but the content will be drawn from the insights and interests of participants.
How did Lu Buwei, the prime minister of Qin during the Warring States period, utilize financial policies to unify China?
During the war between Chu-Han Contention, what kind of financial strategy did Chen Ping, the prime minister of Liu Bang, use to bring Xiang Yu to his doom?
How did Guan Yu, a famous general during the Three Kingdoms period, become the God of Wealth and Fortune? How did he utilize inflation to turn Jingzhou into an economic powerhouse?
The US Federal Reserve has been using quantitative easing in recent years, but Jia Sidao, the Prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, was the first Chancellor to use quantitative easing.
