After a day's layover in Amsterdam, we arrived in Tbilisi, Georgia, at 5 a.m. today. After sleeping till 1 p.m. we started our student seminar, sponsored by FEE and our liberal friends here. I will lecture tomorrow on taxation and the next day on the welfare state.
We are actually at a little hotel outside Tbilisi in the mountains. It is cold, damp, and overcast, and the climate has penetrated the hotel. Nevertheless, we have 50 eager students from Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. So it should be a good seminar.
More to come.

It may not be a healthy attitude, but I have this wonderful feeling that conditions in places like Armenia are an excellent chance to "start over" in the project for liberty.
Judging by the students you've met, are they saturated with Marxist baggage, or were they already converted to the free market persuasion before hearing you speak? Somewhere in between? Thanks.

No Marxists in our group at all, but they are there by self-selection. We had an eager group, excited to hear about free markets.
