FEE's Lawrence W. Reed
The Foundation for Economic
Education, or FEE, is one of the oldest libertarian
organizations in the country. Founded in 1946 by Leonard Read, FEE
holds seminars, publishes The Freeman, and
has inspired generations of classical liberals and free-market
thinkers.
Lawrence W. Reed has headed up FEE since September 2008, after two
decades running the Mackinac
Center for Public Policy. In this Reason.tv interview,
conducted by Reason Editor in Chief Matt Welch at the FreedomFest conference in
Las Vegas, Reed talks about how he first came to his politics in
1968 because of Czechoslovakia's "Prague Spring," and how the
mission of teaching free-market economics remains as urgent as ever
in 2009.
