We are very excited about the Christians For Liberty 2016 Conference this coming August 6th, and we are proud to welcome ten excellent speakers to teach and encourage you in your learning about Christian faith and libertarianism. Over the next few days, we will be posting brief bios of the speakers so you can get to know them a little better (read Part 2 and Part 3). So first, meet the doctors! Okay, there are actually more doctors coming, but I have to split it up somehow. Come to think of it, we have five speakers with doctorates in four distinct fields: economics, philosophy, theology, and engineering. Pretty impressive, right? Yeah, you really don’t want to miss this. Sign up today!
Dr. Victor Claar
Victor V. Claar, Ph.D., is professor of economics at Henderson State University–the public liberal arts university of Arkansas–where he specializes in teaching introductory courses in economics. He also serves on both the graduate faculty and the faculty of the Honors College. He recently served as a Fulbright Scholar at the American University of Armenia, where he conducted research and gave lectures to graduate students in both management and political science. Professor Claar has a long, impressive record of publications, including his influential book, Economics in Christian Perspective: Theory, Policy and Life Choices, now in its ninth printing and recently translated into Chinese for publication and sale in Taiwan.
While you may have heard that economics was once dubbed the “dismal science,” Professor Claar’s work demonstrates that this field is quite the opposite, especially when it does what Professor Claar does: combine sobering analysis and Christian principles to offer a vision of hope. Professor Claar is also the author of Fair Trade? Its Prospects as a Poverty Solution, an incisive, thoughtful work that challenges us all to rethink how we buy what we need and want.
