Economic Recovery: Free markets vs. big government
February 12, 2009| By Nathaniel Ward
The Heritage Foundation and the Club for Growth co-hosted a conference on February 10 titled “Economic Recovery: Free Markets vs. Big Government.”
Things kicked off with a panel on “Why the Stimulus Won’t Work” featuring Hillsdale history professor Burton Fulsom, Heritage Foundation senior fellow J.D. Foster, and CATO adjunct scholar Arnold Kling. New York University economics professor Mario Rizzo began the second panel, which examined market-based solutions to the downturn. Finally, George Mason University economist Donald Bourdreaux concluded with a discussion of how "stimulus" spending hasn't worked in the past.
