We were a little surprised that you know who Friedrich A. Hayek is!<BR/><BR/>I love that the LVM Institute in Alabama has re-released a lot of Hayek's early 1930's works both in book format: http://www.mises.org/store/Prices-and-Production-P520.aspx and in downloadable pdf: http://mises.org/books/hayekcollection.pdf<BR/><BR/>Our webpage is http://www.newcommonwealth.org/ and we would like to be able to link you and any of your friends to our site. <BR/><BR/>We plan to have an on-line newspaper and Internet portal offering traditional perspectives and political-economic solutions to current events in the Philippines. We're planning to offer viable private solutions to public problems. (We don't want to be all talk, talk, talk.)<BR/><BR/>Its always been difficult looking for Filipino libertarians, so we are sincerely grateful to TX Rep. Ron Paul for showing people that there is another viewpoint than the State's. <BR/><BR/>Even so, after reading your profile and visiting your Minimal Government Thinkers website, one of my writers was a little hesitant to offer you an invitation since from personal experience, issues such limited government, economics, free trade, constitutionalism, tax resistance, etc. and their promotion in the Philippines, appears to be a young man's game. <BR/><BR/>Even those who does share similar viewpoint, such as UP Professor René Azurin (part of the minority report on charter change) are a little too set in their ways and prevents them from recognizing contributions from the younger and less credentialed generation.<BR/><BR/>For example, that blogpost you had on those missionaries wanting to set up a school and giving up due to red tape? I have had the same goal in mind, but I know how to sidestep the DepEd and still offer an International Standards primary and secondary education to anyone who asks regardless of budget. All of it off-the-shelf technology. All it needs now are investors. I've managed to lower at lot of the R&D costs, but, like most projects, it still needs investors and interested patrons since the project is for-profit and a little out of my pocket book.<BR/><BR/>Please visit us!<BR/><BR/>FrancisNC Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14562851183035844922noreply@blogger.com
