Liberty Fund, Inc. is a private, educational foundation established to the study of the ideal of a society of free and responsible individuals. Ideas about free markets, limited government, and individual liberty are the focal points for the discussions and conversations which Liberty Fund fosters in its conferences, publication efforts, and website activities. It attracts readers and conference participants who are interested in exploring further the classical liberal tradition which have evolved over the past three or four hundred years.
