Independent Institute
The Independent Institute is a non-partisan, scholarly, public-policy research and educational organization that sponsors comprehensive studies of critical social, economic, legal, and environmental issues. Adhering to the highest standards of scholarly inquiry and pursued regardless of prevailing political or social biases, the resulting studies are published and widely distributed as books, The Independent Review (quarterly journal), and other publications, and are publicly debated through numerous conference and media programs. Through this uncommon independence, depth, and clarity, The Independent Institute pushes at the frontiers of our knowledge, redefines the debate over public issues, and fosters new and effective directions for government reform.
