Liberty Fund, Inc. was founded 50 years ago in 1960 by the successful Indiana businessman and lawyer Pierre F. Goodrich (1894-1973). As part of the celebrations organized for this anniversary year we plan to restage a number of the earliest conferences which were held under the auspices of the Fund. Whenever we have the majority of the readings available online we have created a corresponding Reading List.
For more information about Liberty Fund’s 50th Anniversary see this page.
For more information about Pierre F.Goodrich and Liberty Fund see:
This seminar repeats a very early Liberty Fund Colloquium which was held in March 1965. The readings for the first 4 sessions are by Lord Acton, whilst the final 2 sessions are based upon readings from the Basic Memorandum (which are not available online).
