CU-Denver to host debate on socialism

Reservations are open for debate and discussion of “Capitalism vs. Socialism” Sept. 19 at the University of Colorado Denver.

Yaron Brook, chairman of the Board for the Ayn Rand Institute and author of “Free Market Revolution: How Ayn Rand’s Ideas Can End Big Government,” will debate Bhaskar Sunkara, the founding editor and publisher of Jacobin and author of “The Socialist Manifesto: The Case for Radical Politics in an Era of Extreme Inequality.”

The men are on a national tour, with stops already at the University of Texas at Austin and University of Maryland.

The debate and discussion will be moderated by Hadley Heath Manning, the policy director for the Independent Women’s Forum.

The event is part of the Colorado-based Steamboat Institute’s Campus Liberty Tour, in partnership with the University of Colorado Denver.

Admission is free, but seating could run out at the Student Commons Building in rooms 2500 and 2600, so registration is advised, organizers said.
