Founded in the Fall of 2008 with a generous gifts from the BB&T Charitable Foundation and the Charles G. Koch 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.
