“To Save or Not to Save:  Will austerity programs alone save Europe?”

The Austrian Economics Center (AEC) in cooperation with Lithuanian Free Market Institute (LFMI) presents the 2013 Free Market Road Show® in Vilnius with the conference topic “To Save or Not to Save:  Will austerity programs alone save Europe?”.

The conference will bring together leading business people, outstanding scholars and students, opinion leaders, policy experts, elected officials, diplomats and other interested parties from across Europe to discuss these questions:

–       More Europe vs. Less Europe: How much Europe can we really afford?

–       Deregulation vs. Regulation: What brings an economy back on track?

–       Welfare vs. Opportunities: Can youth unemployment be solved with more state intervention — or more freedom?
