The Libertarian Club of Baltimore will meet at the Ruxton Ridge School which is on Charles Street about one half mile south of the Beltway (on the right side going south).

The film, directed by Ron Mann, is a historical account of the United States’ government’s war on marijuana in the 20th century. According to IMBd, “Fuelled by prejudice, hysterical propaganda and political opportunism undeterred by voices of reason on the subject, we follow the story of a costly and futile crusade against a substance with questionable ill effects that has damaged basic civil liberties.” To see our press release for this event, click here.

Harry Browne became famous in the ’70s as an investment
In the early ’90s, Mr. Browne decided to take an active role in the Libertarian movement, running for President in both 1996 and 2000. After his two campaigns, he continued giving speeches and hosting his own radio shows. He also helped co-found organizations for small government, such as DownsizeDC.org, Inc., and served as President of the Free-Market News Network, Corp.

This lecture will contrast the incentives in market-based, civil-society institutions with those in government institutions (such as state ownership and government regulation); and will argue that the former generally lead to better social results. Howard Baetjer Jr. has been a lecturer in the Department of Economics at Towson University since the Fall of 1997. He teaches Microeconomics, Money and Banking, and Comparative Economic Systems and ranks as one of the preeminent thinkers in Austrian economics today.

Also, you can see our Facebook event-page here. Our last meeting will be on Wednesday, December 7th. Unfortunately, we couldn’t hold the raffle or the film screening for a variety of reasons. (For example, we need to get a Gaming License from the government before we can hold raffles.) So, instead of having an actual meeting, we’ve instead decided to throw a Political Pizza Party. College Democrats, College Republicans, Campus Greens, and other political parties are all welcome to attend. But please don’t fight. The pizza will be free.
