New Perspectives on the Great Depression with Dr. Doug MacKenzie

Have our brilliant leaders got it all under control or should we grab our gold and head for the hills? Could it be Deja Vu all over again? Join us as Dr. MacKenzie reveals the Great Depression in anew light.

Dr MacKenzie earned his PhD in Economics from George Mason University, where he was a Walter Williams Fellow, and his MA in Economics from The University of Connecticut. He has eighty publications, many of which appeared in The Freeman, The Free Market, or on Mises.org. His research focuses on The Great Depression, Capital Investment, The Political Economy of Democracy, and The Economics of Organizations. Dr MacKenzie currently teaches economics at The Coast Guard Academy, and has previously taught at SUNY Plattsburgh, Ramapo College, and Kean University.

New York, NY 10003

Ari will be speaking about the Real ID Act and its implications for New Yorkers.

This controversial legislation attempts to federalize state driver’s licenses by imposing regulations on their issuance and appearance. It establishes a system of government databases and electronic checkpoints that will, in effect, create America’s first-ever national identification system.

The law will cost billions to implement, trigger bureaucratic nightmares, aid identity thieves, threaten privacy and stifle liberty. Since Congress passed it in 2005, Real ID has sparked intense, nonpartisan opposition throughout the country. Seven states have passed statues prohibiting implementation of Real ID, and 11 others have passed non-binding resolutions expressing opposition to it.

The Manhattan Libertarian Pary and the NYCLU are both members of the New York Alliance Against the Real ID Act.
