=Christopher R. Fuentes-Padilla=
Christopher R. Fuentes-Padilla (b. 1997) is an Life-Long New Yorker and Eagle Scout best known for his [[Practical Leadership Theory]] and his analysis of NYC Politics. His involvement in NY Politics began at age 16, at Benjamin N. Cardozo High School, where he ran the school's first and only Public Safety Career Exploring Club as President/Chief Explorer. He used his position to advocate for the student's right to participate in emergency drills and planning, execution of the drills and evaluation of their own response times.


In 2015, upon turning 18 years old, Christopher dropped out of Cardozo to pursue a "Direct to Tech" EMT Program at Northwell Health's Emergency Medical Institute. He also pursued a GED, to no success, at NYCDOE's Pathways to Graduation @ LaGuardia Community College. He is currently taking a Career Pathways Program ,to complete his GED and earn an associate's degree in Paralegal Studies, at TCI College in Manhattan, NY.

In November 2016, he publicly announced he would be considering a underdog run for Queens Borough President, against the Incumbent Melinda Katz (D), with the Republican Party. Shorty after 10 December of that year, He would take the stage at the Libertarian Party of Queens County's Meeting to renounce his pursuit for Queens Borough President. In his speech, he cited that the "political aftermath of Donald Trump's Victory over the Clinton Machine" had "damaged the chance for any GOP Member to win in NYS for the next couple of years".

'''Henry Stuart Hazlitt''' (November 28, 1894—July 9, 1993) was an American journalist, literary critic, economist, and newspaper editor who wrote and edited business and finance articles for such publications as the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and [[The Freeman]]. Hazlitt belonged to the [[Austrian School of Economics]] and is most notable for his 1946 book [[Economics in One Lesson]]. Despite never being trained as an economist, Henry Hazlitt's contribution to Libertarian economic thought is highly praised with [[Ludwig von Mises]] going as far as to call him “the economic conscience of our country and of our nation.”
 
==Life==
===Early Life and Education===
Henry Stuart Hazlitt was born in Philadelphia, son of Stuart Clark Hazlitt and Bertha Zaunder Hazlitt. Stuart died at the age of 28, when Henry was a baby. This resulted in an early life of relative poverty. After his mother remarried he spent the rest of his childhood in Brooklyn, New York. Hazlitt became interested in philosophy and aspired to pursue a career in psychology and philosophy. He attended New York City College but had to drop out of university without finishing a degree in order to provide for his mother as his stepfather had passed away. Hazlitt proceeded to work odd jobs, never lasting with one employer for long.
 
===Career===
At the age of 20, when he finally got a job at the ''Wall Street Journal'' as a stenographer, he had already finished his first book, "Thinking as a Science", which was published in 1915. In 1920, Hazlitt became financial editor of ''The New York Evening Mail''. While at the ''Mail'' in 1922, his second book appeared, titled "The Way to Will Power". Hazlitt later served as literary editor at ''The New York Sun'' from 1925 to 1929 and as literary editor of the left-leaning journal, ''The Nation'' starting in 1930. As part of his duties at ''The Nation'', Hazlitt edited a series of essays titled "A Practical Program for America". Hazlitt, as a free-market thinker, often found himself clashing with the rest of the editorial staff at ''The Nation''. As ''The Nation'' was advocating for greater government involvement to combat the Great Depression, Hazlitt was advocating for the opposite. This resulted in a series of public debates with socialist Louis Fischer and the parting of ways between Hazlitt and ''The Nation'' in 1933. Later, Hazlitt published "The Anatomy of Criticism" and in the same year he shortly served at [[H.L. Mencken's]] ''The American Mercury''.
 
From 1934 to 1946, Hazlitt was the principal editor writer on finance and economics for ''The New York Times''. At the ''Times'' he both a weekly collum and numerous unsigned editorials on economics. It was during this time that Hazlitt met economist [Ludwig von Mises], whose work Hazlitt had often read and praised. In 1938, for example, he reviewed von Mises's treatise ''Socialism'' for the ''Times'' declaring it "a classic" and "the most devastating analysis of socialism yet penned." After Mises was forced to flee Europe in 1940 for fear of persecution by the encroaching Nazi war machine, Hazlitt arranged for Mises to contribute editorials at the "Times" and helped Mises secure a teaching position at New York University. Hazlitt was also instrumental in ensuring [[F.A. Hayek's]] ''The Road to Serfdom'' reached a large audience in America. His 1944 review of ''The Road to Serfdom'' lead to ''Reader's Digest'' publishing a consolidation of Hayek's book allowing more people to access the Austrian's writings.
 
After the Second World War, Hazlitt came into conflict with the publisher of the ''Times'' over the subject of the Bretton Woods system which resulted in the creation of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Hazlitt feared and warned of the potential for inflation while the ''Times'' was preparing to endorse the new system. This caused Hazlitt to leave the publication and join ''Newsweek'' magazine. It was at ''Newsweek'' where Hazlitt wrote his most important contribution to the [[Austrian School of Economics]] and Libertarian thought, [[''Economics in One Lesson'']]. In 1947, Hazlitt wrote ''Will Dollars Save the World?'', a book that served to dismiss the reasoning behind the Marshall Plan which he believed was nothing more than an international welfare scheme. Around this time, Hazlitt became a founding vice president of the [[Foundation of Economic Education]] (FEE) and a founding member of the [[Mont Pelerin Society]]. From 1950 to 1953 he served as editor and editor-in-chief of [[''The Freeman'']], a libertarian magazine published by the FEE. Hazlitt became well known for his articles, books, and radio debates with prominent politicians including Vice President Henry A. Wallace and future VP Hubert H. Humphrey.
