The conference on “A Liberal Agenda for the Next Century” is drawing to a close. It’s been a great opportunity to learn, to meet people and plan projects and programs together, and to make friends. I’ve met libertarians from Belarus, to Georgia, to Mongolia, and caught up with friends from Slovakia, New Zealand, Britain, Iraq, Iceland, and many other countries. And it’s been a real delight to hear extraordinarily sophisticated (and thoroughly radical) presentations in Russian. (The translations have been really excellent; would that I could have understood the presentations in Russian.) My paper on institutions went well, I think, and I’ll later indicate where it’s likely to be published. And I may have teaching trips to Georgia and Mongolia, as well as Iraq, posted here in coming months.
