Center Director: Iain Murray

The Center for Economic Freedom works to ensure that voluntary economic transactions remain free from government coercion and control.  We work tirelessly to beat back attacks on these freedoms from bureaucrats and nanny-state busybodies, and to expand the orbit of voluntary arrangements in the economy—including banking and finance, labor, insurance, the freedom to take risks as an entrepreneur or a consumer of alcohol, international trade and development, transportation, and many others.  We aim for a world where the rights and benefits of free transactions are recognized, respected and protected.
