What To Present

We are looking for practitioners, theoreticians, and other problem-solvers to present on:

1. An obstacle a liberty-for-real society (might) face:
   • It can be a planned, emerging, on-going, past, or failed liberty society.
   • The obstacle might arise in any area that restricts the growth of liberty in that society:
     • culture; economic; social; psychological; diffusion; political; legal; logistical; safety; defense; health; trade; infrastructure; border; religion; charity; commons; business; investment; constitution; crime; advertising; immigration; conflicts; community-building; virtue; tolerance; minorities; employment; governance; covenants; banishment; children; schooling; abuse; dating; family; drugs; nullification; taxation; cronies; innovation; libertinism; vices; arts; etc.
       <See sample topics>
   • Perhaps first mention any progress in the area of the obstacle.
   • Describe how the obstacle impacts the society’s success.
2. An overview of potential solutions
   Drawn from any promising sources.
3. One solution in detail
   The tentative solution that you would like the most feedback on from this conference.

Forms of Presentation

Presenters will present the above ideas in three main forms:

• 5-15 page paper (5,000-15,000 words) to be published in the Conference book, “Liberty-For-Real Societies Vol 1”
  (The paper can include the speech itself, or additional detail, or it can be a much more complete treatment.
  Prizes are awarded for best papers.)
• A 50 minute speech (of which 35 minutes is of substance)
• Roundtable discussions where you interact, brainstorm, detail with attendees

What Not To Present

NH Liberty Forum is not looking for discussions on minor reforms of authoritarian governments, on national politics, nor on imaginative but fictitious future societies.  We are looking for practical solutions to actual problems faced by liberty-for-real societies that threaten to reduce their success or speed of diffusion.
