Carla Gericke, who is chair of the FSP’s board of directors and president emeritus of the group, said that she was first drawn to consider the ideas advanced by libertarianism after the high-tech bubble in California burst.
“I’m an immigrant who moved here from South Africa, got my green card in 1996,” she said.
After her husband’s West Coast tech job disappeared and her company folded, the couple began trying to understand what happened. That search led them to consider libertarian ideas and to connect with others who agreed with their observations.
“Look around you and you can tell that this is a bunch of nerds,” she said Friday. “These are really smart people who read a lot, and who were looking for solution-driven answers.”
Now, the group hopes to share their ideas with others.
