FEE: The Tradition of Freedom
Leonard E. Read founded the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), one of the oldest free-market organizations in the United States, in 1946 to study and advance the freedom philosophy. FEE's mission is to offer the most consistent case for the "first principles" of freedom: the sanctity of private property, individual liberty, the rule of law, the free market, and the moral superiority of individual choice and responsibility over coercion.
FEE aims to help people rediscover how essential freedom is to human existence and offers comprehensive educational programs.
The Foundation's periodicals, The Freeman: Ideas on Liberty, Notes from FEE and In Brief (an e-commentary) offer insights on the positive case for human liberty to thousands of people of all ages in America and around the world. Throughout the year FEE's lectures, programs and seminars bring thousands of individuals together to explore the foundations of free enterprise and constitutionally limited government. FEE also plays an important role in publishing and promoting essential books on the freedom philosophy.
During its long and illustrious history, FEE has published or hosted lectures by some of the finest minds of the modern age, including Ludwig von Mises, F.A. Hayek, Henry Hazlitt, Milton Friedman, James Buchanan, Vernon Smith, Israel Kirzner, Walter Williams, George Stigler, Frank Chodorov, John Chamberlain, F.A. "Baldy" Harper, William F. Buckley Jr., among many others.
The Foundation for Economic Education is a non-political, non-profit, tax-exempt educational foundation and accepts no taxpayer money. FEE is supported solely by contributions from private individuals, foundations, and businesses and by the sales of its publications.
