The Foundation for Economic Education

The Foundation for Economic EducationFreedom’s Home Since 1946 The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), the oldest free-market organization in the United States, was established in 1946 by Leonard E. Read 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. The Foundation’s periodicals The Freeman: Ideas on Liberty and Notes from FEE present timeless insights on the positive case for human liberty to thousands of people around the world. Throughout the year FEE’s lecture series, programs, and seminars bring together hundreds of individuals of all ages to explore the foundations of free enterprise and market competition. The Foundation plays a major role in publishing and promoting numerous essential books on the freedom philosophy. Millions of people a year visit our state-of-the-art website, www.fee.org.
