Whose Freedom?
From the Archives: This document is an old advertisement for subscriptions to FEE’s magazine, The Freeman. The Freeman has been a staple in FEE’s history since the foundation took control over it in 1956, merging it with its own Ideas on Liberty. The basic selling point of this advertisement is that freedom is everyone’s business. [...]

Its first issue was published in 1950, with Henry Hazlitt, author of Economics in One Lesson, as an editor and FEE founder Leonard E. Read a member of the board of directors. What follows was originally part [...]

Our function is to expound and apply the principles of traditional liberalism and individual freedom, and to expose the errors of collectivism of all shades.

It is with deep sadness that I note the death in October of our long-time contributing editor Norman Barry after a long illness. He was 64. Over the years Norman kept Freeman readers informed about free-market and statist developments in Europe and elsewhere, always with optimism about the future of liberty. He was a professor [...]

In an age when lots of think-tanks, foundations, organizations, and institutes publish magazines extolling the benefits of free markets, it is hard to imagine the early 1950s, when only a handful of pro-free-market publications existed, most notably The Freeman.

The Freeman has a long and distinguished history
in the cause of liberty.

Mr. Steelman is a staff writer at the Cato Institute. December 28, 1996, marks the thirtieth anniversary of the death of Frank Chodorov, one of the giants of the American Old Right. It seems appropriate to look back at his life and career, not only to pay homage, but also to rediscover some of the [...]

When Leonard Read, a Chamber of Commerce executive from Los Angeles, set out to launch The Foundation for Economic Education in March of 1946, the world was facing tremendous problems of readjustment and recovery from the upheavals of World War II.
