"The first seminar I was invited to was on global warming and climate change. I had no idea what FREE was or who John Baden was, but the invitation mentioned some of those who had already agreed to attend, and one of them was a scientist I had got to know well, and to trust...I took his selection as a good sign, joined the seminar, signed on for more, and have never been disappointed."
— Professor Thomas C. Schelling, Nobel Laureate Economics
FREE’s mission is to imagine and implement an economic way of thinking that is consistent with a society of free and responsible individuals. Our nation’s Founders envisioned social cooperation and value creation fostered through the rule of law, secure property rights, and the market process, not centralized command and control. FREE’s seminars target important opinion leaders in public policy arenas, most notably regarding environmental issues. FREE’s focus is on the broad conjunction of economics, ethics, and the natural and human environment. Using basic concepts from economics, science, and risk analysis, we explain how the application of these analytic tools can foster sound environmental and other public policies and advance social well-being.
