The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) is an American nonprofit educational organization which promotes the principles of laissez-faire economics, private property, and limited government.[4] According to its website, "FEE is constantly focused on providing high school and college students with the inspiration, education, and networking they need to become effective advocates for liberty and the free-market system."[5] FEE publications include The Freeman (a quarterly magazine) and various pamphlets and libertarian texts.[6]
History
Founding
FEE was founded in 1946 to promote free-market economics, with financial backing provided by the William Volker Fund.[7] The founding documents of FEE said: "The job of economic education must be undertaken now while those who appreciate the value of liberty are still in a position to support it."[8] In its first years, FEE opposed the Marshall Plan, Social Security, and Minimum Wages, among other American social and economic policies. Referencing the influence of religion on the economic policy proposals of FEE, board member Jasper Crane stated, "we are going to be beaten if we rely entirely on the argument of dollars and cents."[9]
People
The initial officers of FEE were Leonard E. Read[13] as president, Henry Hazlitt as vice-president, and chairman David Goodrich[14].[15] Other trustees on the FEE board included Jasper Crane[16], H. W. Luhnow[17], and Robert Welch[18].[19] Read served as president from 1946 until his death in 1983.[20] Perry E. Gresham followed his friend Read as president in 1983.[20] The presidency of FEE[21] from 1983 to 1984 was held by John Sparks Sr., from 1984 to 1985 by Bob Love, from 1985 to 1988 by a series of acting presidents, then from 1988 to 1992 by Bruce Evans. After retiring from Grove City College where he taught economics, Hans Sennholz served as president from 1992 to 1997.[22] Before serving as Chair of the Department of Economics at George Mason University, Donald J. Boudreaux served as president from 1997 to 2001.[23] Economist, investment analyst, professor and author Mark Skousen served as president from 2001 to 2002.[24] Author and professor Richard Ebeling served as president from 2003 to 2008.[25] Economist, author, and professor Lawrence W. Reed became the current president in 2008.[26]
Significance
Murray Rothbard credited FEE with creating a "crucial open center" for a libertarian movement.[27] During his extended graduate studies at Columbia University, Rothbard was influenced by FEE co-founder Baldy Harper and his opposition to government.[28] Friedrich Hayek saw FEE as part of the inspiration for the formation of the Mont Pelerin Society in 1947.[29] FEE provided a financial subsidy to the Mont Pelerin Society.[30] Early in the Mount Pelerin Society's history, Hayek did not like having so many members from FEE.[31] According to the 2014 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report (Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program, University of Pennsylvania), FEE is number 47 (of 60) in the "Top Think Tanks in the United States".[32]
Location
FEE briefly occupied two rooms on the 30th floor of the Equitable Building in Manhattan at the time of its founding.[33] It moved to Irvington, New York shortly after its founding.[34] In 2014, FEE sold its Irvington headquarters, transferring its main offices to Atlanta, Georgia.[35]
Programs
The FEE describes its mission as to "inspire, educate and connect future leaders with the economic, ethical and legal principles of a free society."[3] FEE offers a variety of programs for high school, college, and graduate students. Since 1946 FEE has also sponsored public lectures by various thinkers, including Ludwig von Mises,[36] F.A. Hayek,[37] Henry Hazlitt,[38] Milton Friedman,[39] James Buchanan,[40] Vernon Smith,[41] Walter Williams,[42] F.A. "Baldy" Harper,[43] and William F. Buckley Jr..[44]
Publications
In 1945 du Pont executive Jasper Crane, along with Alfred Kohlberg, started a capital campaign for the organization.[45] After contributions from J. Howard Pew, Inland Steel, Quaker Oats, and Sears enough funding was available for FEE to start publishing The Freeman in 1950.[46] [47] FEE publishes books, articles, and pamphlets both on paper and digitally that the foundation considers classic works on liberty.[48] These include the notable publications I, Pencil: My Family Tree by Read,[49] The Law by Bastiat,[50] Anything That's Peaceful by Read,[51] Planned Chaos by Mises,[52] Industry-Wide Bargaining by Wolman,[53] Up from Poverty: Reflections on the Ills of Public Assistance by Sennholz,[54] and The Virtue of Liberty by Machan.[55]

The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), one of the oldest free-market organizations in the United States, was founded in 1946 by Leonard E. Read to study and advance the freedom philosophy. FEE's mission is to offer the most consistent case for the first principles of freedom: the sanctity of private property, individual liberty, the rule of law, the free market, and the moral superiority of individual choice and responsibility over coercion. To help people rediscover how essential freedom is to human existence and to demonstrate how dangerous it is to move toward any form of collectivism, FEE offers a comprehensive educational program to all students of liberty.
