What is a Salon?
A salon-style event is an informal yet lively gathering where people come together to exchange ideas and engage in meaningful discussions. Rooted in tradition, salons have long been spaces for thinkers, writers, and leaders to debate and explore important topics. The goal is simple: thoughtful conversation that sparks new ideas and deeper understanding.
Why Harwood?
The name honors Col. Edward C. Harwood, who founded AIER in 1933 to advance rigorous, independent research on free markets and sound money. Harwood’s commitment to open inquiry, diverse perspectives, and thoughtful dialogue continues to shape AIER’s mission and inspires these gatherings. By carrying his name, the program connects our nationwide conversations to the principles and work at AIER.
