Liberty Discussion is a program designed to engage and inform the core members on the ideas of market economy and classical liberal ideas. Discussions are made on contemporary issues (local or national) through open market perspective. The article is selected and shared within the members to prepare oneself for the program. The program is organized at the venue of Bikalpa – an Alternative on every alternative Saturday (twice a month).

On, Saturday, 9 November 2019 regular participants gathered on the Bikalpa office for the regular formal Liberty Discussion. The discussion was titled in Article “I-Pencil”

The discussion primarily focused on an article based on I pencil.  In an in-house discussion, the participants expressed concern about the relevancy of the invisible hand through the article. One of the participants shared the core idea of I pencil by saying that while making the “pencil” many hands and materials are used which worked as voluntary cooperation for their own benefits. No one worked with the intention of making a pencil.  Similarly in the market, each one of us works for self which helps in the growth and benefits of society.  On a similar note, some added that Nepal imports more than a hundred good from outside which means we can’t deny the benefits of globalization. Meanwhile, the participant also discussed the core competency area form where we can achieve growth in the economy.

Moving forward, some of the participants also share their personal experience regarding government regulation and also the business mindset of people in society.  Diverse viewpoints were observed in relation to the market and business policy of the government. The interaction had enriching insights that helped the attendee gain better perspectives on the topic.There were 11 participants in the discussion.
