The Californer/10343511

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Amidst growing concerns over the city's 5.5% unemployment rate and a deepening regulatory-driven labor contraction, N. Robert Branch, a Fellow at the Society for Economic-Liberalism, has announced a major public lecture at the upcoming Summit for Economic Liberalism. The event aims to mobilize 10,000 Los Angeles residents, business leaders, and students in a massive civic dialogue on restoring the region's market efficiency.

The lecture, titled "Rigid Regulation in Modern LA: Restoring Spontaneous Order," serves as the centerpiece of the Summit. Branch intends to use the platform to bridge the gap between 19th-century classical liberal theory and the immediate economic crises facing California in 2026.

"We are at a tipping point where 'artificial interferences' are pricing the average Angeleno out of the labor market," says Branch. "By bringing together 10,000 local voices, we are demonstrating that the demand for a free, flexible, and efficient economy is not just a theory, it is a public mandate."

The event will focus on several key pillars:

• Regulatory Friction: An analysis of why LA's technical and professional sectors have lost 14,000 jobs in early 2026.
• Human Capital Advocacy: Strategies for young entrepreneurs to bypass modern organizational constraints.

As a Fellow of the Society for Economic-Liberalism, Branch has become a pivotal voice in Beverly Hills and the LA economic landscape. Their research provides the academic backbone for what is expected to be one of the largest economic-focused public gatherings in the city this year.

About the Summit for Economic Liberalism: The Summit is the flagship event of the Society for Economic-Liberalism, designed to promote the principles of individual liberty, free trade, and classical liberal economic policy to a global audience.
