A few days ago I decided to send an email to the general inbox of a political party in France that generally subscribes to classical liberal and libertarian philosophy, basically telling them who I was and that I was looking for politically like-minded friends in Paris. Well... not only did I hear back from someone, I heard back from the president of the party. Here is a sample from the email:
"I have no doubt that your past experiences and even your insights regarding petroleum issues would be very valuable for our young political organization."
I thought that contacting the general email inbox of an organization would be fruitless, but I guess things work out for a reason. Hopefully soon I'll be able to meet some new friends and liberty-minded activists in Paris. I'm interested to see what authors people have been inspired by, especially since I have roots in classical liberalism stemming from the English and Scottish Enlightenment thinkers. I know a few French classical liberals, like Bastiat and Say, but I'm sure there are probably more to learn about. I just hope that they know who Ludwig von Mises is!
