I’ll be giving a speech at Troy University in Alabama on Tuesday, March 20.
Topic: How Economists Helped End the Draft
Location: Troy University, 129 Bibb Graves Hall
Date: March 20
Time: 5:00 p.m.
If you’re an EconLog reader and want to attend, please come up and say hi before or after.
If you want to see a version of the talk–I’ve tweaked it only a little since then–see this one I gave at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, TN.
Dan Sutter of Troy University’s Johnson Center posted this short piece on the talk.

As someone who has done military service, thanks to Milton Friedman and co. who helped to end the draft.
I never thought about it when I went there but as I got older I grew a lot more thoughtful about it.
Draft is slavery and worst kind of slavery where you are not required to labor but to kill other people.
