CEDICE will celebrate today, December 12, in Caracas with a program featuring three young student leaders, who will speak on economic freedom. The agenda features Thomas Chacon, economist and program coordinator at CEDICE, on Economic Education for Young Children; Eduardo Massieu, economist and law school student, on the Moral Imperative of Economic Freedom ( \You can hear his presentation at Atlas’s event here.); and Yon Goicoechea, winner of the 2008 Milton Friedman Prize from the Cato Institute and president of Future Present Foundation.
