Cronyism, Corruption and Government Power
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Sheraton Palo Alto
(see times)
“Cronyism,” a new rallying cry in all political quarters, is now being offered as a reason not only to restrict free speech but to impose “income equality” on the grounds that the rich obtain their wealth only through “gaming” the system. Is there any truth to the claims that our government is corrupt and cronyism rampant? The answer is yes, but not in the way that proponents of more government power claim. This talk will explore the true nature of government corruption and cronyism, how it manifests itself in various ways, its consequences, and what to do about it.
Registration starts at 6 pm. The talk starts at 6:30 pm. Refreshments will be served during registration.
Entrance fee is $10. Students attend for free. You can register online or at the door.
