Posted by Todd Zywicki: Just Back From Guatemala: I just returned from a week in Guatemala at the remarkable [1]Universidad de Francisco Marroquin in Guatemala City. A truly remarkable institution, filled with brilliant and friendly professors and extraordinarily bright and engaged students. Each student is required to take 3 semesters of study of market economics and 2 semesters of Social Philosophy, basically reading Hayek one semester and Mises the next.
I was a guest of [2]CADEP, the public choice center at Francisco Marroquin, headed up by my old Dartmouth friend Carroll Rios, who is a professer at Marroquin. CADEP organized a city-wide program for university students on law, economics, and public choice, that had probably 150 students in attendance. The program is only in its third year, and she already has the various universities around the city pleading to host various days of the program. Unfortunately, I had a whirlwind in-and-out trip, so didn't get to see much of the country. Did pop over to Antigua for dinner one night, which was beautiful. And brought home some great Guatemalan coffee!
