“Freedom of Speech: How is Offensive Speech Good for Society?” is only the latest in Professor Bell’s partnership with IHS. Previously Professor Bell released an open online course “
Entrepreneur’s Survival Guide to Trademarks, Patents, & More
” as well as a variety of videos on the rule of law and property rights.
