Business and Government

The Competitive Enterprise Institute’s work on the intersection of business and government builds on a long history of defending capitalism, promoting free enterprise, supporting entrepreneurship, and encouraging innovation. To further those goals, CEI believes business leaders must play a larger role in challenging government intervention and special interest cronyism. That fight is vital – not just for investors and entrepreneurs, but to all of us, who know free markets produce more fair and compassionate outcomes for all people, regardless of their means.

Conservatives Should Resist the Urge to Regulate Big Tech

Nearly every day there seems to be another story that demonstrates that Big Tech is biased against conservatives. Recently, we saw the “lifetime” ban of conservative pundit Jesse Kelly from Twitter—which lasted just a couple of days. As a result, more and more conservatives are talking openly about using antitrust law to break up or regulate Google or Facebook or even Amazon. This would be a huge mistake, and a repudiation of conservative principles, for several reasons.
