Salt & Light is pleased to host an economics seminar for young people ages 12-18 on the weekend of Oct. 17-18 at Harvest. This seminar is being put on by Mr. Greg Rehmke, part of an economics group, whose mission is to reach out to young people around the country to expose them to free market principles. He also wrote the foreword to this year's Blue Book. He says about his seminars:
No economics background is required to attend the seminar. To most students, the seminar won't seem like it is about economics, since we focus on current events, international issues, and the American Founder's skepticism of government and arbitrary power.
This seminar is by no means only for homeschoolers and you could feel free to invite your public and private school friends. And don't forget that dads might really enjoy this seminar so let them know about it!
