At the Free Market Road Show 2011, the English-Slovenian and Slovenian-English dictionary of economic terminology was introduced for the first time. Svetilnik collaborated with the Austrian Economics Center to translate the English-Slovenian and Slovenian-English dictionary of economic terminology (1050 terms), which is available in eight languages (English, German, Spanish, Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian, Romanian, and Bulgarian) as an application (PRO version) for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, iOS, Android, and Blackberry for $1.99.

18:00 – 19:00 PANEL 1: HOW NOT TO WASTE A “GOOD” CRISIS AND THE FUTURE OF EUROPE??

What are the alternatives to borrowing from the future? Are pension-, healthcare-, and administrative reforms a precondition to prevent the welfare states from falling apart and to prepare the ground for the next generation? Where is the link between government weight and prosperity, and where, if at all, (spending/service) cuts need to be made? Is a paradigm shift realistic? The issue of how to balance and take “social” and economic responsibility for the next generation in light of recent bailouts will be discussed.
