About the film

The Third Wheel is a new documentary film on economic freedom for the auto-rickshaws (tuk tuk) in Delhi produced by members of EFN Asia, with the support of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty (India Office).

Auto rickshaws are a common sight in most Indian cities. Known as the transporter for the lower and middle class, they are an integral part of the transportation system of the country. However, one wonders why there has been little improvement in their design or why they seem to be guilty of overcharging their customers and flouting the laws. In India, as is the case with most professions, the auto-rickshaw is governed by a licensing system which has produced the unintended consequences, mainly being, financial mafia.

The Hayek Essay Contest of the Mont Pelerin Society is now open to all individuals 35 years old or younger. 

The question to answer is

"Examine whether authoritarian capitalism is a viable alternative to its Western liberal version, to promote long term economic growth and development."
