Sound Money Essay Contest

Hello my fellow Humble Libertarians,

The Atlas Economic Research Foundation is sponsoring an essay contest for undergraduate and graduate students, junior faculty, and policy writers under the age of 36. The general topic is sound money, but there are variety of more specific topics about the relevance of sound money which are outlined in the link below. The prize for the overall winning essay is $2000 with prizes of $500 for other outstanding undergraduate essays. The deadline for submission is January 15th. Further information is provided HERE.

The length of the essay is at least 1500 words, which is about 6 pages.

I encourage everyone to try your hand at this to brush up on your writing skills, and maybe even win $2000!

Atlas's Sound Money Project recently published A Guide To Sound Money by Judy Shelton which is a great and short read on the subject if you're looking for ideas.

Remember the deadline is next Saturday.

In Peace, Love, and Liberty,

Eric Sharp

While many on the left are quick to blame a nebulous thing called "greed", or lack of regulation, the matter is more complicated than that. This calls for a Lord of the Rings metaphor. Let's say that Sauron, the big cheese bad guy of Lord of the Rings, is the corporate hegemony. The 1%. Most people in Middle Earth agree that this is a problem, but there are a few differ...
