Join us in Dallas for an event with Julia Cartwright, Senior Research Fellow in Law & Economics at AIER.
The modern administrative state quietly tilts the economy in ways most people feel but rarely see—nudging prices, slowing innovation, and steering markets from the shadows. In this talk, Dr. Julia Cartwright explores how opaque rulemaking and elastic “guidance” shift choices from consumers and entrepreneurs to regulators. Through stories and data, she charts reforms to restore accountability and growth.Harwood Salons bring people together for intimate, thought-provoking conversations on ideas that shape free enterprise, prosperity, and human flourishing.
