Here's an announcement from the University of Mississippi Young Americans for Liberty and the UM Constitutionalists:

The University of Mississippi Young Americans for Liberty have teamed up with the UM Constitutionalists to attract Thomas Woods to speak on the Ole Miss campus. Woods, author of the New York Times Bestseller Meltdown: A Free Market Look at why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse, will be offering explanations on what caused our current recession and free market approaches to fixing the problem.

The two on-campus organizations hope to stir up some discussion among the student body and in the local community on the costs and consequences of what the US government is currently doing to combat the ailing economy. His book has already gained popular recognition with his harsh criticism of government bailouts and the Federal Reserve’s monetary expansion policies. Woods will be explaining how these government bailouts will make things worse and the effect they may have on the state of Mississippi.

The meeting is Thursday from 7:30 p.m to 9 p.m. at Bishop Hall, Room 209.
