The Shanghai Austrian Economic Summit this July 20-22 is the premier event in Asia for the free market ideas of Friedrich Hayek.

More than 20 speakers from across the globe will be joining Chinese scholars and fans of the free market Austrian School of thought to examine the current and future state of what is expected to be the world's largest economy.

Attendees have already registered from all across China as well as from Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Kyrgyzstan, Philippines, Armenia, India, Czech Republic, Romania, UK, Guatemala, Germany, Norway, Australia, Senegal, and the US.

"Along with the fall of the Soviet Union," says Jim Elwood, Executive Director of the International Society for Individual Liberty (ISIL.org), "the world's most momentous story of the last 30 years has been the rise of China from communist basket case to a free-market economic powerhouse, yet still under the resurging rule of the Communist Party. What's coming next?

Keynesian and Marxist state interventionism will be challenged at this conference of scholars."

The event is hosted by ISIL as their Asia Regional Conference and is organized by Li Zhao Schoolland, who has connected with an extensive free-market intellectual network in her native country.  Hayek's The Constitution of Liberty has been a bestseller and many other translated works on liberty are widely available.

Schoolland is organizing this free-market symposium in Shanghai at the Hilton DoubleTree Hotel from July 20th through the 22nd, plus post-conference tour options. This symposium is not affiliated with any government institutions. Participation is open to all.
