C-SPAN TO TAPE DAVID R. HENDERSON'S TALK ON FREEDOM (12/4/01)<BR>
<BR>
We are pleased to announce that C-SPAN will be covering the December 4th In=
dependent Policy Forum, "Why Freedom Matters More Than Ever," feat=
uring economist David R. Henderson.<BR>
<BR>
Freedom, according to Henderson, is as important during wartime and recessi=
on as it is during peacetime and prosperity. Furthermore, argues Henderson, =
many of the laws that have emanated from Washington, D.C., since September 1=
1th are destructive of American freedom and have resulted from pressure-grou=
p opportunism or economic ignorance.<BR>
<BR>
The President has already signed into law far-ranging "anti-terrorist&=
quot; legislation and a huge economic "stimulus" package loaded wi=
th pork. How bad is this? How much worse can it get? What can Americans do d=
uring times of national crises to safeguard their freedom against government=
encroachment?<BR>
<BR>
Dr. Henderson will also discuss his new book, THE JOY OF FREEDOM: An Econom=
ist's Odyssey, an insightful analysis of economic policy and an inspiring me=
moir about his own career in defense of liberty.<BR>
