On Monday, November 10th at noon, Dr. Mart Laar will speak at UTC in the
University Center Auditorium addressing the topic of "The Power of
Freedom: The Estonian Case."

Laar served as Prime Minister of Estonia from 1992-1994 and 1999-2001.
During his time in office, he negotiated the withdrawal of Russian
troops from the country, introduced the highly stable Estonian currency,
and implemented a flat tax that has steadily decreased since its
introduction in 1994.  In 2006, the Cato Institute awarded Laar the
Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty.  Recently, he became an
economic adviser to Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili.

Sponsored by the Scott L. Probasco, Jr. Chair of Free Enterprise, this
event is free and open to the public; however, seating is limited and on
a first-come, first-served basis.

For more information on the speaker and speech, contact the Probasco
Chair at 425-4118.
