Oxford Conservative Thought Reading Group (Week 5: Freedom and Markets)
The Oxford Conservative Thought (OCT) Reading Group is a non-partisan group devoted to academic exploration of small-c conservative political thought. We welcome, and actively encourage, viewpoint diversity and constructive engagement across ideological divides (all good-willed participants are welcome!)

Each week we read one assigned text, and we recommend more for anyone who is very keen!

Week 4 focuses on conservative views of freedom and markets, with a reading from Kevin Vallier
