Reason and Nick Gillespie

Reason Foundation advances a free society by developing, applying, and promoting libertarian principles, including individual liberty, free markets, and the rule of law. We use journalism and public policy research to influence the frameworks and actions of policymakers, journalists, and opinion leaders.

We promote the libertarian ideas of:

• Voluntarism and individual responsibility in social and economic interactions, relying on choice and competition to achieve the best outcomes;
• The rule of law, private property, and limited government;
• Seeking truth via rational discourse, free inquiry, and the scientific method.

Reason Foundation produces respected public policy research on a variety of issues and publishes the critically-acclaimed Reason magazine. Together, our top-tier think tank and political and cultural magazine reach a diverse, influential audience, advancing the values of choice, individual freedom and limited government.
