Harwood around the time of the Great Depression.<\/p><p>The Institute existed to voice concerns against the drastic increase in government involvement in daily life brought about by the implementation of then-President Roosevelt&#8217;s New Deal. Confiscation of gold was a charged topic at the time, and over the years the Institute has faced continuous push-back from the US Federal government, including having its tax-exempt status revoked.

We learnt about Colonel Harwood\u2019s theory of revolution and counter-revolution, the importance of integrity and dialogue in academia as well as the ins and outs of running a think tank. The researchers at AIER explained their respective topics, which included an extremely interesting example of hyper-inflation in video-game economies, as well as more conventional topics such as inequality and poverty in the United States.<\/p><p>Once the talks were done, we had the day to explore. The first day, we played croquet under the tuition of Mr Edward Stringham, AIER President, and on the second we began to explore the beautiful property. We walked the many forest trails and along the lake, we went canoeing one afternoon, and some of us were also able to go check out the Norman Rockwell museum in Stockbridge.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0fe67a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0fe67a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Croquet-at-AIER-598x800.jpg\" title=\"Croquet at AIER\" alt=\"Two people posing with croquet mallets next to a decorative stone planter with red flowers at a garden estate.\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Patrick and Simrin - croquet champions?<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1d7bc3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a1d7bc3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our 3 days at AIER went almost too quickly, but from there it was onto the next adventure: New York City.

Some of us took a detour to Boston and Rhode Island on the way to the Big Apple, and we explored the prestigious campuses of Harvard, MIT, and Brown University.<\/p><p>However, by the 26<sup>th<\/sup> of June, we were all present for our final dinner in Little Italy, New York City.
