ABOUT

Mission: FEE was founded in 1946 by Leonard E. Read and is one of the oldest free-market organizations in the United States. Its 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.  More
