While it may be satisfying to enforce our preferences on others, we forget that the question also relates to ourselves \u2013 how much freedom will others allow me to have? As part of my Mannkal scholarship, I was given the opportunity to explore this question of freedom and more while in the east coast of the United States.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My first destination was \u201cCapitaf\u201d located in Fairlee, Vermont. The name is a nod to the 1962 book \u201cCapitalism and Freedom\u201d written by economist Milton Friedman. Dr Friedman and his wife Rose chose Capitaf as their summer home to serve as a reprieve from the busy lives they led in nearby Chicago. Upon my arrival, it was easy to see why. It is impossible for one to not feel inspired and reinvigorated while looking out at the stunning green hills, vast dense woodland, and thriving nature that surrounds the main residence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19033\" width=\"787\" height=\"590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image.jpeg 1377w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 787px) 100vw, 787px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The surrounds at Capitaf<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this remarkable backdrop, we spent the next week doing a deep dive into Milton and Rose\u2019s work. Our discussions were facilitated by Professors Ryan Yonk and Steve Miller who helped translate Milton and Rose\u2019s ideas into the modern day context. We had lively discussions on topics ranging from ESG in business, Medicaid, equality of outcome vs equality of opportunity, public vs private school systems, and more. The intuitive feeling that \u201csomething must be done\u201d when we are faced with such challenges often results in us opening the door to government-proposed solutions. But Milton and Rose\u2019s assertion is that we underestimate the power free choice and free markets have in producing better solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-2-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19035\" width=\"789\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-2.jpeg 1328w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Inside Capita<\/em>f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A highlight of my time spent in Vermont was visiting the small town of Plymouth \u2013 the birthplace of former US President Calvin Coolidge. While receiving a tour of the 30<sup>th<\/sup> US President\u2019s humble upbringing, I learned of the passionate belief he developed that free people should not serve the government, but that government should instead serve the people. \u201cI want the people of America to be able to work less for the government\u2026 To have the rewards of their own industry. That is the chief meaning of freedom.\u201d. It seems uncommon today to hear a government official say he wishes to give you less, so that you can give yourself more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A generous invitation from Ryan Yonk to stay at AIER in Massachusetts meant I was able to extend my time in the States for another week. I joined them for a trip to Boston, where we embarked on the popular freedom trail. It is here where I learned of Boston\u2019s centrality to the story of American independence and about the brave main characters who were pivotal in forming the greatest experiment in freedom the world has ever known.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After returning to AIER headquarters in Great Barrington, I had the privilege of sitting in on presentations and discussions around the history of the gold standard, the economics of deliberate value destruction within firms, and the Austrian perspective on entrepreneurship. The subject matter was compelling, and it was an honour to learn from some of the brightest people I have ever met. AIER have successfully created a place which attracts those who believe in being a force for freedom. It was truly a pleasure to spend the conclusion of my trip to the States in sunny Great Barrington.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19034\" width=\"782\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-1.jpeg 1328w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>An excellent seminar<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mannkal\u2019s support through facilitating this journey has opened doors I never expected to be walking through. My visit to the US has coloured the way I view freedom back here in Australia and how our nation\u2019s continued prosperity requires that we begin placing economic and political freedoms back at the forefront of our agenda. We should demand nothing less than leadership which upholds individual sovereignty, and we should reject that which wishes to increase control over our lives. Let us as a nation always choose freedom.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exploring the importance of freedom during my time at Capitaf and with the American Institute for
