Initiative for Public Choice and Market Process
Founded in the Fall of 2008 with a generous gift from the BB&T Charitable Foundation, the Initiative for Public Choice & Market Process is designed to examine and stimulate discussion of the following topics:
- The role of government institutions in a capitalistic society
- The relationship between government and the individual
- The relationship between political and economic freedom
- The moral structure of a free market economy
The success of the Initiative for Public Choice & Market Process depends on the support of foundations and private individuals who share its commitment to advancing the understanding and appreciation of the system of free minds and free markets. We are deeply grateful to all who support our venture.
