We live in a benevolent universe where flourishing is possible for the rational individual living in a society of independent individuals who cooperate through voluntary exchange. As individuals, we wish to achieve fulfilment, self-esteem and happiness, for which only the capitalist socio-economic system can provide the conditions that will make them possible for all. A free market economic system is a necessary condition for a free, prosperous and peaceful society, but we need to cultivate our active minds with determination.
The Objective Economics Institute is a non-profit, non-partisan think tank that advances a rational philosophy of ethics and economics, grounded in individual rights, free markets, the fundamental value of business and entrepreneurship in society, peaceful cooperation among free nations and the unrestricted exchange of goods and ideas across borders. We aim to empower individuals to defend and apply these principles in their personal lives, businesses and public policy.
Prosperity on this earth is our guiding motto: the best possible economic outcomes, grounded in objective reality and open to all rational beings. Philosophy and Economics walk hand in hand toward an enlightened, prosperous, and peaceful future.
Estonia’s remarkable transformation from serfdom and socialism to liberty and prosperity stands as one of the great success stories of the modern world. Yet freedom is never self-sustaining — it must be understood, valued, and defended. There is a bright alternative to the current drift toward central planning, blatant cronyism, and economic stagnation, if one understands the practical value of strictly connecting reason, individualism, and the free market economy.
We welcome business leaders, students, policymakers, and anyone with an active mind who seeks a constructive, principled alternative to today’s growing confusion about economics and morality. Let’s explore how a truly free society can and ought to work — let’s think and build together.
