The Max Beloff Centre for the Study of Liberty is a think tank operating from the University of Buckingham. It was created in January 2005 in memory of Max Beloff, the founder of the University of Buckingham. The rationale behind the think tank is that 'Liberty has underpinned the Judeo-Christian ideal for millennia, and it was the idea of liberty that moulded Europe. Britain, too, was forged by liberty, and British leadership in commerce and politics flowed out of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 which established the Bill of Rights and the rule of law' and that 'liberty is constantly under threat from governments and their apologists who seek to over-tax and over-regulate'. The centre has been created in order to 'create a countervailing institution that will reinforce the value of liberty'[1].
