- **Event Description**: Highlighting enduring classical liberal ideas that have underpinned economic freedom and social flourishing.About this EventThe 2026 Classical Liberals in the Carolinas Conference celebrates a pivotal moment in history with the theme “America at 250 Years”, marking both the nation’s semiquincentennial and the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations. This conference will explore how classical liberal principles have shaped and continue to influence American prosperity, liberty, and institutional frameworks from the founding era to the present. Drawing on the timeless insights of Smith — whose ideas on free markets, individual agency, and economic liberty revolutionized economic thought — the program will reflect on how these principles helped forge the United States and remain essential as we look ahead to the future.Participants will engage in rigorous discussions on the philosophical foundations of individual rights, limited government, and the rule of law, connecting America’s past to contemporary policy challenges and opportunities. By situating Smith’s legacy alongside the broader narrative of 250 years of American development, the conference aims to highlight enduring classical liberal ideas that have underpinned economic freedom and social flourishing. Attendees from academia, business, and public policy will explore how these ideals can guide future growth, civic engagement, and institutional reform in the Carolinas and beyond.

                "description": "Current political patterns expose a deep ignorance of economic realities. This ignorance has calcified into a strong resentment towards market forces that is spilling into the political arena at the national, state, and local levels. The choice would seem to be between a government that is protectionist and a government that is progressive.Fortunately, there are a number of like-minded faculty members in the Carolinas region devoted to the cause of liberty; that is, the freedom of the individual to pursue his or her interests within the artifactual confines derived from and bound by the rule of law. Within the often insular world of academics, these individuals are eager to extend the frontier of free market ideas though their efforts are largely confined to the institutions for which they are employed. Put another way, it takes an outside interest of note to draw their attention away from the intellectual tedium engendered by the institutional incentives of education.To combat this characteristic isolation, the Classical Liberals in the Carolinas was organized for the express purpose of bringing together classical liberal scholars in the Carolinas region. Filling this lacuna in facilitating exchange among purveyors of classical liberal thought is no longer a luxury but a necessary component of the regional free market network."
