1. There is an annual "Friedman Conference" in Australia, which I had agreed to attend and speak at before the pandemic made travel too risky. This year they are doing it online, starting at 3 P.M. Pacific time this afternoon (Friday, July 10th). I am speaking on anarcho-capitalism, along with Bryan Caplan, at 6 P.M. Everyone is welcome to come — here is the URL. I was told that the coupon code FRIEDMANFREE would give people free access to the conference, but I don't know how you are supposed to use it. There will apparently be an online social room, which should be a good place for conversation, as well as talks for 24 hours more or less nonstop by lots of interesting people.2.
