Frdric Bastiat: Campaigner for Free Trade,

Political Economist, and

Politician in a Time of Revolution

featuring

David HartEditor, The Collected Works of Frdric Bastiat, Vol. 1

(Liberty Fund, 2011)

moderated by

Jason Kuznicki

Editor, Cato Unbound

Frdric Bastiat was a pivotal figure in French classical liberalism in the mid-19th century. He

suddenly emerged from the southwest province of Les Landes to assume leadership of the

fledgling French free trade movement in 1844, which he modelled on that of Richard Cobdens

Anti-Corn Law League in England. Bastiat then turned to a brilliant career as an economic

journalist, debunking the myths and misconceptions people held on protectionism in particular

and government intervention in general, which he called sophisms or fallacies." When

revolution broke out in February 1848, Bastiat was elected twice to the Chamber of Deputies

where he served on the powerful Finance Committee and struggled to bring government

expenditure under control. He confounded his political opponents with his consistent

libertarianism: he denounced the socialists for their economic policies, but he took to the

streets to prevent the military from shooting them during the riots that broke out in June 1848.

Until his untimely death in 1850, Bastiat was an indefatigable foe of political privilege,

unaccountable monarchical power, the newly emergent socialist movement, and above all, the

vested interests benefited from economic protectionism. He was a giant of 19th century

classical liberalism, and Liberty Fund is publishing a six-volume collection of his work.

Jules Arthur (NYC, b. USA, mixed media): Trained in classical realism and illustration at The

Art Students League and The School of Visual Arts in New York City, Arthur explores the

portrayal of the human condition in his art. His work reveals personal moments of pride and

introspection of struggle and triumph depicted in a variety of mediums including charcoal,

oil paint, and mixed media incorporating wood, metal, paper and leather.

This body of work celebrates some of the best of what we know as the American sound or

Fuerza Natural, 2008

Please join us for the opening reception of Oscar

Garcia's exhibit of drawings and sculptures on

Friday, October 14 from 6:00 - 8:00. Exhibit

continues through November 10, 2011

Form and illusion, simple or complex, is an

impression. Before paper, wood or stone ever took

shape, there is just looking at the natural, spontaneous,

funny and sad. Be it the whispers of rustling trees, orthe gentle breath of a still model, truth has its way of

tapping us on the shoulder. It starts as a group of lines,

connecting points that capture the essential form of the

subject. To try to create in art what is in life. So

incredibly elusive; forms that suggest, material left

untouched, a curve repeating onto intself with no end, a

line that falls off the back without so much as a sigh."

Oscar Garcia was born in Lima Peru. Along with his Pre-

Columbian ancestry Oscar's childhood was immersed in

the culture, language and agriculture of the Inca

civilization. Oscar's need to sculpt is essentially his

conceptual response at restoring a way of life with

respect to the earth. Made from organic materials that

are abundant, Oscar's sculptures blur material

boundaries and emerge into transcendent and

ephemeral expressions. He uses wood taken raw from

nature and paper, a recycled by product of civilization -

materials that have the same root and yet seemingly

different purposes between ancient and modernized

worlds.

Is Islam Compatible with the Free Market?

POLICY FORUM

Friday, October 14, 12:00 p.m.Luncheon to Follow

Because of the ongoing construction in our building expansion, this Cato Institute Policy Forum will be held

at

Mount Vernon Place

Undercroft Auditorium

900 Massachusetts Avenue NW


Featuring Mustafa Akyol, Author, Islam without Extremes: A Muslim Case for Liberty(Norton, 2011); with comments

from Kris Mauren, Executive Director, Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty; moderated by IanVasquez, Director, Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, Cato Institute.

Islamist literature rejects central features of modernity common in the West, including capitalism. Many Muslim

countries restrict economic freedoms necessary to sustain other liberties. Author Mustafa Akyol will describe how

the theological attitude and historical experience of Islam toward business and profit-making is, in fact, consistent

with an embrace of free markets. He will also discuss the un-Islamic origins of Islamic radicalism, pre-Islamic traits

that have long characterized the Middle East and have left their mark on the religion, and how Turkey's

conservative masses are experiencing a socio-economic boom due to that country's market reforms. Kris Mauren

will compare the history of liberalism in Islam with that of Christianity.

Through October 28th

Reception and Artist Talk


Pepco's Edison Place Art Gallery

The exhibition at the Pepco Edison Place Art Gallery commemorates the fifteenth anniversary of Life Pieces To

Masterpieces (LPTM),

Creating Artand Changing Lives. It will feature some of LPTM finest works and servse as a crucial fundraising initiative,

to earn revenue and expose the work to potential supporters across the region. This initiative helps ensure that we are

there for the young men served by LPTM for the next 15 years and beyond. In the past 15 years, the organization has

changed the lives of over 1,000 young men living East of the Anacostia River. This exhibition, which features works from

various periods in LPTM history, is a visual celebration of the organizations success and more importantly, of thesuccesses of the young men.The exhibit will be on display at the Art Gallery through October 28, 2011.

LPTM Co-Founder and Executive Director, Mary Brown wrote, I walk into so many offices around the city and see the

same paintings or photos of monuments. I believe that there are businesses out there looking to fill their space with

artwork that is both beautiful and uniquely D.C. and they wont find anything more truly D.C. than these canvases which

tell the stories of the citys own children.

The Gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 12 - 4 p.m., Saturday 15thand 22

nd12-4pm with free admission.

Hopkins & Porter Architecture, will begin this relaxed and creative evening with"The River that Binds Us"... Thecommon unifying element in 34 years of projects out of their offices in Potomac Maryland has been the Potomac

River, both as a seen and unseen presence, as a transporter of both place and time, and as an opportunity for

finding a little added poetry and metaphor in their lives. Learn how the river and our clients inspire them to seek

something beyond the expected.

Flowing away from the river but not away from green/sustainable design, Archaeon Architects helps us seehow they create the "Perfect Balance" Archaeon tells tales of creating functional, client-inspired designs.Showing that designs that reflect the way people live, work, and relax can be a balancing act but believe that

great spaces are measured by those who inhabit them - not by those who design them.

Please save room to enjoy some wine and hors d'oeuvres.

Mexico is paying a high price for fighting a war on drugs that are consumed in the United

States. More than 40,000 people have died in drug-related violence since the end of 2006

when Mexico began an aggressive campaign against narco-trafficking. The drug war has led to

a rise in corruption and gruesome criminality that is weakening democratic institutions, thepress, law enforcement, and other elements of a free society. Former Mexican president

Vicente Fox will explain that prohibition is not working and that the legalization of the sale, use,

26/59

12:00-1:30 p.m.

The U.S. Postal Service has been a fixture of American life

since the founding of our Nation. The old U.S. Post Officewas reorganized in 1970 as a government-sponsored

enterprise (GSE), meant to be run like a business, free of

political patronage and micromanaging. Yet, the enterprise

faced significant restraints imposed by the 1970 law and

further impediments to economical operation by legislation

enacted in 2006. These limits on the Postal Service's ability to

perform were easily overcome for awhile, but no more.

For over two centuries, the business model of the Postal

Service was to make substantial profits on letter mail, over

which it has had a federally-sanctioned monopoly, and to use

those profits to offset losses on other classes of service andto maintain the organization's "infrastructure." The problem is

that in the past decade, electronic communications (e-mail,

bill-paying, etc.) have so undermined demand that monopoly

mail has fallen precipitously, along with the profits meant to

undergird the rest of the Postal Service's activities.

If it were an ordinary enterprise, the Postal Service would be

in Chapter 11 (or even Chapter 9). Actions by Congress and

the Administration have enabled the Postal Service to avoid a

shut-down of delivery services by delay of certain payments

due the federal government. But these are short-term reliefactions and do not solve the underlying problem. The reforms

presently under consideration by Congress and the

Administration are reasonably ambitious, but may fall short of

giving the organization a reasonable lease on life.

Hudson Institute's Center on Economics of the Internet is

pleased to invite you to a discussion with James Miller,

currently a member of the Board of Governors of the United

States Postal Service. Miller is the former chairman of the

Federal Trade Commission and Director of the OMB during

the Reagan Administration.

Harold Furchtgott-Roth, Director of the Center and formerCommissioner of the FCC, will moderate the discussion.

This book is a study of the role mystical discourse and experience can play in Christian-Muslim dialogue as a subset of interfaith dialogue in general. It concentrates on the work of

two great medieval mystic masters, one Muslim, the other Christian. The Muslim is the Sufi

teacher known to centuries of admirers as al-shaykh al-akbar or The Greatest Master -Muhyi al-Din Ibn al-`Arabi. The Christian is the great German Dominican mystic and

philosophical theologian whose status as master has become a part of his name - Meister

Eckhart. The book begins by discussing the life and legacy of each mystic master, and then

move on to identify a principal theme in each of their teachings that has significant

implications for addressing issues of religious diversity and interfaith dialogue. It will thenproceed to its main objective: placing the mystical discourse of these two masters in

conversation with one another for the purposes of articulating conversation points

between the two discourses which might serve as nodes for a possible new matrix for

Christian-Muslim dialogue.

The motivating premises of the book are three. First, because so much of Christian-Muslim

dialogue gets stuck on irreconcilable theological propositions, a new matrix for thedialogue is necessaryideally one that focuses on ways of looking at the cosmos that are

rooted in distinctive and different, but nonetheless shared spiritual experiences. Second,many people in the world todayboth Christians and Muslimsare becoming more

disposed toward dialogue as a way of reducing conflict in our increasing number of globalvillages. One obstacle in advancing the dialogue, however, is the alienation of practitionersfrom the rich intellectual resources of their respective traditions which can be drawn upon to

legitimize, support, and encourage dialogue. Third, if practiced with intelligence, sincerity,

and care, dialogue and encounter with people of other faiths can significantly enrich the

identity of the religious individual as he or she articulates, in a pluralist context, just what itmeans to be a Muslim, a Christian, or the adherent of any other religious tradition.

Mercedes Cecilia's series of large abstract paintings can

be viewed as a microscopic mirror of her inner life. "When

I think of Peru, intense warmth fills my heart and colors

appear inside a trapezoid shape, as if the Inca

trapezoidal doorway frames my memory field" .

The Color of WaterThe series of paintings evoke the lakes and rivers of the

Catskill Mountains, while simultaneously evoking thelandscapes of Peru, suggesting that the spirit of a site

can be kept alive in new surroundings.

What are the implications of this demographicshift? How are the communities that have experienced this shiftin the last decade managing this change? What are theopportunities and challenges of a more diverse society? And mostimportantly what is our collective vision for the year 2050 and

what do we need to do today to make that vision a reality?Please join the Center for American Progress to explore thesequestions and to launch an exciting new project Progress 2050

Our Nation's Attic

A Reception Celebrating the Smithsonian Institution

The New America Foundation is pleased to

invite you to a reception for Our Nation's Attic,

an open source protest beer honoring the

Smithsonian Institution. This American Pale

Ale is hand-crafted by members of the

International Amateur Scanning League, a

group of volunteers who help make images

and videos from our national cultural

institutions more broadly available on the

Internet. The beer is made with Victory Malt

and Liberty Hops and features art from the

Smithsonian's Seed Display Catalogs on the

labels. Samples of Our Nation's Attic will be

served.

Our Nation's Attic is part of a national dialogue about how organizations such as the

Smithsonian, the National Archives, and the Library of Congress can make their holdings

available to the world, creating a national digital public library for the increase and

diffusion of knowledge. At the forefront of this dialogue is whether the Smithsonian

Institutions should stop their long-standing practice of prohibiting re-use of materials in

their possession through license restrictions and copyright assertions, a policy that is

unique in the federal government. You can learn more about this dialogue at

wwlbd.org. This site was created in support of Our Nation's Attic and other volunteer

efforts that are reusing Smithsonian artwork without permission.

In addition to sampling this American Pale Ale, at this reception you will be able to view

postcards, posters, and other creations in art and commerce that use Smithsonian

artwork. You'll hear from Thomas Gideon of the New America Foundation, who

volunteers in his spare time to put government video on-line and is one of the creators

of Our Nation's Attic. You'll also hear from Carl Malamud ofPublic.Resource.Org, who

will discuss the legal basis for copyright in federal government institutions.
