Contribute to Sound Economic Education
As 2024 draws to a close, the Mercatus Center’s annual fundraising campaign is in full swing.
The institution, ideas, and principles that underlie a flourishing society — free markets, voluntary cooperation, and the freedom to pursue one’s goals without unnecessary interference — aren’t just abstract notion; they are the foundation of prosperity, and they require constant vigilance and education to preserve.
I’m honored to be part of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Mercatus is more than a research institution – it’s a force for advancing the ideas that improve lives and protect liberty. Through thoughtful scholarship, insightful policy analysis, and unparalleled educational programs, Mercatus plays a critical role in promoting sound economics and limited government.
Unlike many voices in today’s crowded and noisy public square, Mercatus remains committed to reality-based economics and a respect for the voluntary arrangements and the entrepreneurial creativity that make progress possible. Our work inspires scholars, educates policymakers, and informs citizens to understand the world as it is rather than as how wishful thinkers might imagine it to be.
The end of the year is a critical fundraising time for nonprofit organizations such as ours. If you share my belief that liberty and sound economics are worth defending, I encourage you to support Mercatus with an end-of-year gift. You can do so by following this link. Your donation is tax-deductible and directly funds our world-class student fellowship programs, policy research, and outreach efforts.
Here’s to a new year filled with opportunity and prosperity – and a warmer embrace of liberty.
All my best to you and yours for the holiday season and 2025, and my deepest thanks for visiting Cafe Hayek.
