The Nassau Institute recently conducted a survey on ﾓEconomic Literacy.ﾔ The survey consisted of twelve questions relating to six key concepts in economics covering international trade and the characteristics of a free market economy.
Most respondents achieved impressive results, and two (Jehan Unwala and Lennox Paton) obtained a one hundred (100%) percent score. At a recent reception, the respondents were presented with a copy of Frederic Bastiatﾒs book, The Law. In recognition of their perfect scores, Mr. Unwala received a copy of F.A. Hayekﾒs, The Road to Serfdom and Mr. Paton received a copy of Hayekﾒs, The Fatal Conceit.
Pictured from left to right are (seated) Nassau Institute President Joan Thompson and Jehan Unwala and (standing) are Brian Self, Robert DﾒAlbenas, David Nicoll, Nassau Institute VP and Economist Ralph Massey, Gordon Rodland and Len Davies.
Anyone wishing to test their economic literacy can view the survey posted on The Nassau Institute Web Site at www.nassauinstitute.org.
The Nassau Institute is an independent, non-profit, libertarian organisation committed to furthering understanding of how free markets and limited government are the foundation for the creation of wealth and civil society.
