Events
Student Luncheon with SCETL and Common Sense Institute
What is Free Enterprise and Why Should Sun Devils Care?
Background: You’ve probably heard terms like “free enterprise,” “free markets,” and “capitalism” thrown around both in the news and in your life on campus. But what do these things really mean, how do they make life better for the average American and Arizonan, and what impact does public policy have in ensuring you and your community are able to prosper in a free enterprise system?
The Common Sense Institute Arizona is a non-partisan research organization that employs economists to study these issues. CSI Arizona invites you to a lunch and learn to talk about why a free enterprise system matters, in both a global and personal context.
CSI Arizona invites you to enjoy lunch on us, hear from our experts and ask questions like, “What is Free Enterprise, and why should Sun Devils care?”
Open to all ASU Students. Lunch will be served.
