For instance, I hope they allow their healthcare system to remain free like it is today; I hope they do not adopt a social-security system; I hope they do not grow the size of their welfare system.<br /><br />Organizations that advocate for Rand's ideas could save India decades of pain... this is a good time to head off bad ideas. <br /><br />Thanks for posting the link.Realist Theoristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02443210652365042245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19937890.post-56810975184894242382009-09-09T07:51:28.808-04:002009-09-09T07:51:28.808-04:00Thank both of you gentlemen for the update.

If I remember right, it was about 15 years ago that they organized an essay context modeled on the lines of ARI's, but much smaller.<br /><br />As India "opened up" (from about the late 1990s), this group grew as well. They have held various talks, put up book-stalls at book-shows and the like.Realist Theoristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02443210652365042245noreply@blogger.com
