Economic Freedom Network
The Economic Freedom Network is a coalition of more than 70 free market think tanks co-ordinated by the Canadian based Fraser Institute.[1]
- Economic freedom is the extent to which one can pursue economic activity without interference from government. Economic freedom is built upon personal choice, voluntary exchange, the right to keep what you earn, and the security of your property rights""[2]
The Network shares a number of members in common with the London based Stockholm Network which is larger but includes only European think tanks. For example the following members are held in common:
- Center for New Europe, Belgium | Liberální Institut of the Czech Republic| Centro Einaudi in Italy| Institute for Market Economics in Bulgaria| Lithuanian Free Market Institute in Lithuania | the Open Republic Institute in Ireland| | Timbro in Sweden| | The Institute of Economics in Croatia| | The Institute of Economic Affairs in the UK | Society for Disseminating Economic Knowledge: New Economic School in Georgia | The Institute of Economic Studies in Iceland | Institute of Economic Analysis in Russia | Liberales Institut in Switzerland | The Association for Liberal Thinking| | The Ukrainian Center for Independent Political Research |
