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.

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.
