R Street Institute
Company Overview
The R Street Institute is a non-profit, non-partisan, public policy research organization (“think tank”). Our mission is to engage in policy research and outreach to promote free markets and limited, effective government.
Company History
R Street is a free-market think tank with a pragmatic approach to public policy challenges. We draw inspiration from such thinkers as Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Ronald A. Coase, James M. Buchanan, and Arthur C. Pigou. We favor consumer choice; low, flat taxes; regulation that is transparent and applied equitably; and systems that rely on price signals rather than central planning. Thus, it’s fair to say that we’re on the political right.
