Libertarian Meetups > The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

Did "runaway free markets" cause the current financial crisis? Or was something else—perhaps the government—to blame? On Wednesday, March 11, join the Illinois Policy Institute for cocktails, conversation, and a thought-provoking discussion on the current financial meltdown featuring CNBC contributor and Institute senior fellow Andrew Busch.

Andrew Busch is the Global FX Market Strategist for BMO Capital Markets’ Investment Banking Division in Chicago. He is a recognized expert on the world financial markets and how these markets are impacted by political events. On a regular basis, Andy consults with the staffs from the US Treasury, Congress, and the White House on economic and market issues. He is a regular contributor to CNBC, and is regularly quoted in outlets including the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, and the Associated Press. Daily, his views appear in his e-mail newsletter, the Busch Update. Andy will cover financial and budget issues for the Illinois Policy Institute.

Time: 5:30 pm-7:30 pm
Location: The Library, 190 South LaSalle (Chicago), 40th Floor
Cost: Tickets are $25, and include cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres.

Who’s to Blame for the Economic Mess?

All ages can attend.

The Chicago Libertarian Party starts its business meetings at 7pm. The business typically takes about an hour to get through, after which we stay around for a couple of hours socializing.

Feel free to show up any time after 6:00. The business portion of the meeting is open for everyone to attend. Now is a great time to get involved, as we work begin the groundwork for local elections in 2010.

The Lincoln Restaurant is near the intersection of Lincoln, Irving Park and Damen. There is parking, and I believe that the Irving Park brown line station is open again.

All ages can attend.

With the national election over, and with our Constitution class behind us, we are almost back to our regular programming. Now it is time to start thinking about 2010, and how we will most effectively move the cause of Liberty forward.

But first, we are back to ELECTION TIME! Interested in getting more involved? Interested in taking on some responsibility? Interested in just choosing the LP Chicago officers? Well, January 6th is our annual meeting, when we hold our local elections. We’ll have a short meeting, followed by the officer elections, and then we’ll adjurn for the usual conversation, drinks, etc.

I look forward to seeing everyone on the 6th.
