The White House, the Fed, and the Economy: Mises Circle in Fort Myers, FL

View the event schedule here. View photos of the event here.

Every day, Americans feel the political capture of the economy. Inflation, taxes, and regulatory costs hit our paychecks and savings. The regulatory capture of medical industries; food and energy production; and the various instruments of Big Tech empower the regime with new tools to promote their latest ideological cause. The ever-growing burden of government debt has become a crisis without any political will to address it.

This November, the Mises Institute will be in Fort Myers, Florida, to cut through the campaign talking points and offer an uncompromising look at what is coming next. Speakers include Bob Murphy, Patrick Newman, Jonathan Newman, and Murray Sabrin. Join fellow travelers from around Florida and beyond for a dose of sanity before we hit the peak of the 2024 political circus.

The event will take place at 11:00 a.m. at the Luminary Hotel in downtown Fort Myers. Registration is $70 for Mises Members and $85 for nonmembers and includes a catered lunch.

Event Day Details:

The event will take place in the Caloosa Sound Convention Center of the Luminary Hotel, 2200 Edwards Drive, Ft. Myers. The event space is adjacent to the hotel, but there is not a breezeway connecting the two buildings. The entrance to the event space is right next to the main hotel entrance and parking. The hotel staff will be able to direct people to the space, and there will also be signs directing people to our event. 

For parking: the Luminary Hotel offers day-of event valet parking for $12. There are public garages immediately surrounding the hotel available as well, ranging from $10-$20 per day.
