Atlas Network is pleased to announce a Liberty Forum Side Event on Thursday, a morning panel discussion and afternoon think tank roundtable meeting, co-hosted by Reason Foundation, Grace Richardson Fund and the Center for Social and Economic Research (RSE), Iceland.
Many international agreements on taxes, climate, justice, etc. - say, the Paris Accord, or the global minimum tax treaty - actually increase poverty and slow climate innovation by constricting freedom and markets. To flip the script, Reason Magazine's Editor at Large Nick Gillespie moderates an expert morning panel exploring a new possibility - a liberty-expanding think tank collaboration on international agreements that address a wide range of issues - with solutions rooted in the insight that the best fix for both poverty and climate (and many other issues) is one and the same: expand freedom for innovators, entrepreneurs and problem solvers, globally.
At the afternoon Think Tank Roundtable Meeting, participants are invited to discuss how such a think tank collaboration would work best, and which issues and strategies offer the biggest bang for the buck, resulting in a popular agreement that spreads global freedom and open markets in many nations, all at once.
Panelists & Roundtable Co-chairs:
Nick Gillespie, Editor at Large, Reason Magazine (Panel Moderator)

Lorenzo Montanari, Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) & Tholos Foundation

Note: Participants who know in advance that they wish to address the Roundtable may indicate that in the Registration form. Please briefly set out the on-topic observation or question you wish to share with the Roundtable in the space provided. Participants are encouraged to consider the following 10 questions in advance:
- What is the best way to accelerate freedom and the rapid multinational opening of markets, globally?
- What opportunities do you see to expand freedom via international agreements, regionally or globally? Which agreement? On what subjects?
- What evidence do you see (or not) that the solution to climate change, poverty and many other problems is the same thing: expand freedom for problem solvers, globally?
- How can the liberty movement use left-wing passions like climate panic to advance low-tax, free-trade, open market solutions to climate and poverty?
- What are the most successful historical strategies for spreading open markets and low tax/trade barriers, rapidly? Can these be replicated by the liberty movement today?
- In order to open markets rapidly and globally, how would you design a free-market version of the Marshall Plan (which offered a carrot for nations to drop trade barriers and form the European Common Market)?
- Can we use internationally reciprocal supply-side tax cuts as a carrot in international agreements, to open markets?
- What would be the best design for those internationally reciprocal supply-side tax cuts to maximize leverage as a carrot to open markets?
- How could we reinvent the Agreement on Climate Change, Trade & Sustainability (ACCTS) to make it a highly attractive free market agreement to open up markets and unlock capital flows everywhere?
- Should we form a Coalition on Freedom-Expanding International Agreements (COFIA)? How should it be done? What can your think tank do to advance the effort? Who wants to co-chair a meeting?
