“As we gradually build our base of supporters and step up the operations their dedicated support enables, we want to ensure that first rate ideological and operational oversight is in place from prominent fellow advocates of market anarchism who are not otherwise affiliated with us organizationally,” remarked Spangler.
 

Named to the C4SS Advisory Panel were Stephan Kinsella, Wendy McElroy, Shawn Wilbur, Sheldon Richman and Gary Chartier.

ORGANIZATIONAL SUMMARY
The Center for a Stateless Society is the Molinari Institute’s media center. The mission of the Molinari Institute is to promote understanding of the philosophy of Market Anarchism as a sane, consensual alternative to the hypertrophic violence of the State. The Institute takes its name from Gustave de Molinari (1819-1912), originator of the theory of Market Anarchism.

Proletarian Revolution in Las Vegas

I’m organising a panel on the topic of “Free-Market Anti-Capitalism?” (I put in the question mark to make it less scary for the faint of heart) at APEE’s next conference (11-13 April, 2010, in Las Vegas); I’ve got Sheldon Richman, Charles Johnson, and Shawn Wilbur lined up as presenters, and Steve Horwitz as discussant. (I plan just to moderate rather than present, unless someone drops out.)

Technically this is a “proposed” panel rather than a definite one, but when I first inquired about how to propose a panel, the response I received read, in part, “I’m very glad to know that you will be organizing a session for APEE 2010. Thanks for your interest and your efforts. I look forward to seeing you in Vegas,” followed by info about uploading the panel details to the APEE website, so I’m guessing approval is fairly pro forma.


2009 Molinari Symposium

The Molinari Society will be holding its sixth annual Symposium in conjunction with the Eastern Division of the American Philosophical Association in New York City, December 27-30, 2009. Here’s the latest schedule info:

GVIII-5. Tuesday, 29 December 2009, 11:15 a.m.–1:15 p.m.
Molinari Society Symposium: “Intellectual Property: Is it Legitimate?”
New York Marriott Marquis, 1535 Broadway, Room TBA
 

New York Marriott Marquischair: TBA

presenters:
     Bob Schaefer (independent scholar): “Response to Kinsella: A Praxeological Look at Intellectual Property Rights”
     G. Nazan Bedirhanoğlu (SUNY Binghamton): “History of the Reification of the Intellect”

commentators:
     Charles Johnson (Molinari Institute)
     Roderick T. Long (Auburn University)
     Jennifer McKitrick (University of Nebraska-Lincoln)

As part of the APA’s continuing policy to prevent free riders, they’re not telling us the name of the room until we get to the registration desk. As part of our policy of combating evil we will of course broadcast the name of the room far and wide as soon as we learn it.

Happily, we have once again avoided any schedule conflict with the Ayn Rand Society (Dec. 28th, 11:15-1:45), and we expect to avoid conflict with the American Association for the Philosophic Study of Society also.
