News from our Center and from our members
The Seminar for the Study of a Free Society was held on Wednesday 18, with Alberto
Benegas Lynch (h), who spoke on "Relatively unexplored foundations of open society"
(Cimientos poco explorados de la sociedad abierta). The seminar was moderated by Gabriel
Zanotti. Again, the attendance exceeded 100 participants (110), including several of our
research assistants. Activities can be seen here

As part of his historical research on the activity of the Mont Pelerin Society, our counselor
Alejandro Chafuen remembered that in the debate for the founding of the aforementioned
society, in which Milton Friedman, Hayek, Robbins and other prominent intellectuals
participated, they discussed objectives and a name similar to that of our Friedman Hayek Center.
Chafuen shared a transcript of the conversation that accounts for this coincidence in his social
networks.
“It seems that this first discussion with Hayek and Friedman describes well the new Hayek
Friedman Center of @ucema.edu , a clone of MPS but more inclusive? (speaking of academic
Alejandro Chafuen disciplines, MPS is dominated by economists)”, reflected Alex Chafuen in this post
https://www.instagram.com/p/CSei49XA46N/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkThe paper “Argentine Agricultural Policy: Producer and Consumer Support Estimates 2007-
2012” (published in the Ucema working paper series Serie de Documentos de Trabajo
UCEMA number 554),
signed by our members Marcos Gallacher and Daniel Lema, can be found among the “Top
Ten” downloads at the SSRN site Food Policy in South America.
