The workshop that Ricardo mentions was part of a series of conversations on the future of liberalism organised by ELF where Ricardo and Carlos participated.

The “IL outdoors” above, as mentioned during the conversation, are innovative and amusing. On the left, an image of the Portuguese prime-minister playing “Taxesnoply”, a play of words between taxes and monopoly (the game), and on the right, a “drowning hand” struggles against a “sea of taxes declarations”. In both outdoors a major message is also convened, on the left “free yourself from socialism” and on the right “free yourself from tax oppression”.
