Educating Slovaks for Uncertain Future

Jan Oravec and F.A. Hayek Foundation/December 3, 2019December 3, 2019 /Leave a comment

Slovakia is a small country. It cannot afford to be uneducated. Still, the country has been sinking in the PISA rankings that measure “smartness” by comparing results of educational systems. Many small countries rank ahead of Slovakia.

World Without Liberal Democracy

Piotr Beniuszys and Liberte/November 25, 2019 /Leave a comment

This article shall serve as a cautionary tale about the fact that if liberal democracy collapses, even liberally-minded people may dismiss democracy and promote liberty-oriented meritocracy, which would cut off numerous citizens from politics – sometimes, for their own good.

Getting Afraid: On Polish Judiciary [Interview with Sylwia Gregorczyk-Abram]

Magdalena M. Baran, Sylwia Gregorczyk-Abram and Liberte/November 19, 2019 /Leave a comment

The longer bad blood is circulating in the body, the sicker we get. The same applies to judiciary. The longer we allow politicians to control the courts, to appoint judges, pressure them, the more difficult healing the judiciary will get.

Liberalism’s Pyrrhic Victory

Mate Hajba and Free Market Foundation/October 28, 2019 /Leave a comment

Liberalism won, no doubt about it. The world is migrating towards more freedom, more equality, and as a result less poverty and war. Nazi Germany was defeated in World War II and the Soviet Union imploded unders its horrid lies. Why don’t we feel like victors then?

Tanja Porcnik and Visio Institut/October 28, 2019October 28, 2019 /Leave a comment

Even though Hong Kong operates under separate laws within the ‘one country, two systems’ model, the invisible hand of mainland China is becoming increasingly visible in the territory. In response, mass protests have been ongoing for four months in Hong Kong.

Has Liberalism Failed?

European Liberal Forum/October 25, 2019October 25, 2019 /Leave a comment

In Europe, liberalism seems to have a different meaning depending on the specific national political context. In Germany, for example, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) is considered a centre-right, classical liberal party supporting free markets and limited government.

Give Room to Oceans, Rising Sea Level Can Be Lowered

Leo Klinkers, Emile Glans van Essen and Liberte/October 24, 2019October 24, 2019 /Leave a comment

Climate measures are based on combating the causes of rising temperatures and helping to slow down rising sea levels. But we do not know to what extent; nor do we know how long it will take. Meanwhile, the living environments of 500 million people will be at risk as a result of rising water levels.

Open Letter from Hong Kong Protesters

WONG Yik Mo and Liberte/October 23, 2019 /Leave a comment

Hong Kong is much more than meets the eye. Beyond the soaring skyscrapers and glimmering shopping malls, it is the only place on Chinese soil where citizens dare stand up to those in power and, once in a while, manage to force concessions out of them.

Self-Reflecting Helps Citizens Become Better People [Interview with Francesca Grippa]

Olga Labendowicz, Francesca Grippa and Liberte/October 15, 2019October 15, 2019 /Leave a comment

Overall, the incentive system for citizens needs to change deeply. If you reward people for the wrong reasons, there will be no way out. Which is why the rise of social enterprise, which cares about different stakeholders (including societies and environment), is such a positive phenomenon.
