First Annual Economic Freedom Summit in European Parliament

I gave a speech on central banking and had a debate with the head of IMF Europe on “Central Banks: The Solution or the Problem?” Many policy makers spoke to me afterwards about how they were not aware of the issues surrounding monetary policy — hopefully we can start to extend the debate of central banking into parliaments, too. More on this next week.
