Game Night at HGSSS - Freedom Rings!
Event149 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016Game Night at HGSSS – Freedom Rings!
Freedom Rings, a board game with Georgist roots while highlighting a different form of capitalism. Through an evolving strategy, the game employs a free market in accessing land and debt as tools needed to achieve your own chosen path. The richest don’t necessarily win and the poorest don’t necessarily lose.
Freedom Rings was inspired by Steve Taft’s book, “A True Free Market.”
Taft has worked for decades on Wall Street managing others peoples’ money. Over that time, he delved into economic studies to help him cut through the chatter that drives many investment choices. What he found there is a misbegotten justice and will share his findings with you.
