Ebeling Offers Economic Options for Hawaii
More than 150 people attended the Saturday, October 11 speech at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki by Hillsdale College (Michigan) Ludwig Von Mises Professor of Economics, Dr. Richard Ebeling, cosponsored by Small Business Hawaii.
Ebeling discussed "Freedom vs. Regulation: The Free Market as Hawaii's Doorway to the 21st Century," and offered suggestions as to how Hawaii could truly revitalize its economy. A lively question/answer discussion followed.
Ebeling, and his Russian born wife Anna, recently discovered a number of significant von Mises documents in Russia, calling national and international attention to Hillsdale's decades-long support for the important Austrian economist. The monographs, speeches, notes, letters, and other items were stolen from the von Mises by the Nazis in 1938 and eventually found their way to Soviet archives, where the Ebelings found them and brought thousands of copies to Hillsdale college to be translated and made available to other scholars of the Austrian school of economics.
