Fear of opening economic borders
“Don’t harbour fears about opening economic borders. You are to gain rather than losing when economic borders are open.” This was the piece of advice which Ken Schoolland, Associate Professor of Economics and Political Science at the Hawaii Pacific University, left with his audience when he delivered the keynote address at a recent event organised by the Bastiat Society of Sri Lanka in Colombo.
The event marked the publication of selected texts on liberty and economics of Frederic Bastiat, the 19th Century French economist, philosopher and legislator, in Sinhala by the Bastiat Society of Sri Lanka.
