On Monday, October 18, 2021 the fourth internal workshop of the UCEMA Friedman Hayek Center took place, this time with Julio Elías and Walter Castro.

On September 29, Edgardo Zablotsky will speak about “Argentina, COVID-19 and Leviathan”. According to Zablotsky, “though Hobbes promoted the idea of an absolute ruler in the 17th century, his theory finds fertile ground for application in the current pandemic. It is clear that there is value in authority because it offers us protection; but nothing is free, to receive protection it is necessary to accept a certain degree of submission, of loss of our freedom. It is difficult to find a more extreme example of this fact than the one provided by Argentina.

Aunque Hobbes promovió la idea de un gobernante absoluto en el siglo XVII, su teoría encuentra un fértil terreno de aplicación en la actual pandemia. Está claro que hay valor en la autoridad porque nos ofrece protección; pero no hay nada gratis, para recibir protección es necesario aceptar cierto grado de sumisión, de pérdida de nuestra libertad.

On Monday 13 September the third internal UCEMA Friedman Hayek Center workshop will be held, this time with Dr. Andrés Rosler, who will speak about his next book on Carl Schmitt. p>
