Free to Choose Wrapup

This article is a part of the Free to Choose Symposium symposium.

Thanks to all of the participants for the excellent posts over the last two days. There are a couple of excellent comment threads where the conversation continues, and I hope that over the next few days participants and readers will get a chance to comment on the posts. Indeed, if any of the participants feel inspired to send in another post in response to something they read or otherwise, I’ll be happy to post it here and let the discussion continue. We hope that you’ve enjoyed it. The posts are compiled below for your convenience, and also at the Free to Choose Tab at the top of the blog.
