Activities
Using various formats, Centro Henry Hazlitt activities are all aimed at teaching and disseminating the principles of a society of free and responsible persons.
Lectures
The lectures are intended to help foster an academic culture in the students, as well as providing them with exposure to national and international experts who come to share their ideas and experiences on classical liberal issues. As part of their courses, students attend a minimum of five lectures per semester.
The Economic Process Contest
Students broaden their knowledge of the Austrian school of economics by analyzing texts from the CEES series Tópicos de actualidad (current affairs).
Students who are studying Economic Process I and II participate in the Economic Process Contest. Over the course of several rounds, participants compete for an academic trip to an international seminar.
Investment Simulator
The Investment Simulator contest was born on the initiative of Giancarlo Ibárgüen, former UFM president, with the idea that every UFM student, regardless of their degree course, acquires a basic notion of investing in the stock market. Students participate in the contest while taking the Economic Process Seminar.
Coloquios
Discussions on the principles of classical liberalism are held with UFM professors and administrative staff, as well as with students from other universities.
The first colloquium with UFM professors was held in 2003; with administrative staff in 2005; with students from the Universidad Mariano Gálvez Law School in 2011; and with UFM maintenance staff in 2018.
Henry Hazlitt Book Club
This book club was born in 2019 to create a forum in which assistant professors, professors, and the general public read and discuss the work of Henry Hazlitt.
Activities for Faculty Members
With the aim of helping to keep faculty members up-to-date, CHH organizes colloquia and seminars to discuss current affairs and study academic texts related to liberalism.
Colloquia: these are one-session meetings in which faculty discuss current affairs with visiting professors.
CHH Seminars: for one or two semesters, faculty members study and explore works from great authors of the Austrian school of economics and classical liberal philosophy.
