The Cordell Hull Institute was established in 1998 and is devoted to free market liberalisation. It appears to have stopped operating in 2006. NB: Cordell Hull was a US Secretary of State from 1933 until 1944. During his period in office the US positioned for post-war supremacy and planned accordingly.
