ABOUT DR. NIKOLAI WENZEL
Professor Wenzel’s research focuses on constitutional political economy and the institutions that promote human liberty and flourishing, with an emphasis on the role of ideology and culture, the history of ideas and the work of Austrian economist F.A. Hayek.

His work has been published in more than 20 journals, including the Review of Austrian Economics, the Journal of Private Enterprise and the Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Religion. He is the co-author of a book on libertarianism versus conservatism from Stanford University Press.

While teaching in Hong Kong this summer, Wenzel shared an eyewitness account of the threats to free institutions and protests in support of democracy. Read Dr. Wenzel’s firsthand account from the unrest in Hong Kong, where he said “the light of freedom risks being snuffed out” and join us to hear more from him on Nov. 5.
