Project Empowerment
Project Empowerment (PE) was a 'not-for-profit organization' set up in order 'to promote awareness of the fundamental advantages of free markets by highlighting the marketplace – not as the preserve of multinationals and financiers – but as the core arena for all individuals and businesses to flourish'.[1] The organisation had a particular focus on 'free market activities', 'in the fields of education, healthcare and other activities not widely associated with private enterprise'. They argued against the 'debilitating effects of bureaucracy' and sought to 'illustrate how over-regulation provides an incentive for corruption'.[2]
PE was one of the UK members of the Stockholm Network.
Objective
According to the earliest available version of the PE website the organisation had an 'immediate objective', which was 'to achieve a circulation of more than 200,000 journalists, economists, media researchers, teachers and other opinion shapers'.[3]
