Overview
This is your gateway to engage with groundbreaking ideas, connect with thought leaders, and participate in shaping the future.
Details
In 2025, the Free Market Road Show commemorates a milestone in the history of free-market ideas: the 50th anniversary of F. A. Hayek’s Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. With his groundbreaking speech, “The Pretence of Knowledge,” Hayek challenged the foundations of centralized planning and emphasized the importance of humility in policy-making. This year, we celebrate his legacy by reigniting the conversation about knowledge, freedom, and progress in an increasingly complex world.
This year’s theme reflect our dedication to exploring how Hayek’s timeless ideas resonate in today’s rapidly evolving global landscape. From the shifting dynamics of the digital economy to the ongoing debates over government intervention, the Free Market Road Show provides a platform to examine and reimagine the principles of a truly free society.
As we stand at a crossroads marked by the rise of artificial intelligence, economic uncertainty, and the pursuit of sustainable solutions, Hayek’s warnings about the limits of human knowledge are more relevant than ever. How can we foster innovation and growth? How do we protect individual liberties in an era of increasing surveillance and intervention?
The Free Market Road Show 2025 offers a unique opportunity to engage with these critical questions. Our events bring together students, thought leaders, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to discuss and debate the pressing issues of our time.
This year’s topics include:
- Hayek’s Legacy: Revisiting “The Pretence of Knowledge” and its implications for modern policy-making.
- Knowledge in the Digital Age: Exploring the role of decentralized systems in finance, governance, and innovation.
- Freedom vs. Intervention: Individual liberties and societal challenges in a post-pandemic world.
- Sustainability and Progress: Free-market approaches to addressing climate change, energy security and global development.
Join us on this intellectual journey to celebrate Hayek’s contributions to economic thought and explore how his insights can guide us toward a freer, more prosperous future. Engage in discussions that transcend traditional academic boundaries, challenge conventional wisdom, and inspire change.
- Dynamic discussions: Be part of lively debates and talks on pressing issues such as digital transformation, economic policies, environmental sustainability, and the evolving global landscape.
- Networking Opportunities: Rub shoulders with renowned scholars, business and industry professionals, and people from diverse backgrounds. Build your network, share ideas, and find mentors.
- Interactive Sessions: Participate in workshops, panel discussions, and Q&A sessions with representatives of a broad spectrum of expertise and backgrounds. Share your opinion, and also learn from the experiences of others.
