San Francisco, CA Supporter and Friend Luncheon

Mercatus Center supporters and friends are invited to an invitation-only, special event in San Francisco, CA, a lunch featuring Dr. Russell Roberts, J. Fish & Lillian F. Smith Professor of Economics at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.

Dr. Roberts is not just an economist, but an innovative communicator of economic knowledge—through his novels, commentary on National Public Radio, and more. At this event, he will speak about the current state of the economy, providing a historical perspective and a discussion of the consequences and outcomes we might expect in light of the government’s response. He will speak for 30 minutes, leaving plenty of time to discuss these ideas and more with you and our other guests.
