What is Build Freedom?

by Frederick Mann and Mark Lindsay

One of the main purposes of Build Freedom is to help bring about and expand economic activity in the free enterprise sector. The emphasis is on using real free enterprise business as a vehicle to expand freedom. This is called The Economic Means to Freedom.

We can usefully distinguish three economic sectors:

  1. public;
  2. private;
  3. free enterprise.

The "public" sector is the terrocrat sector. The "private" sector consists mostly of people who kowtow to the terrocrats and/or are in cahoots with them in various ways. They pay "taxes" to support the terrocrats, they obey their "regulations," and they often beg for special favors like "tariff protection." The free-enterprise sector is also called "the underground economy," "black economy," or "unrecorded economy."

By "free enterprise" I mean an economic system characterized by (1) property ownership; and (2) voluntary exchange. In a free-enterprise system there are no "taxes" and no coercive terrocrat "regulations"; no one initiates force, fraud, or the threat of force to overwhelm the will of another; people are free to do whatever they like, provided they don't violate the rights of others -- basically the right to own property and to engage in voluntary exchange.

We aim to inform and influence individuals to shift -- as far as is practically possible -- their economic activities into the real free enterprise sector.
