USING FREE MARKETS TO CREATE A RICHER, FREER, HAPPIER WORLD. 

 

The Adam Smith Institute is one of the world's leading think tanks. Independent,
non-profit and non-partisan, we work to promote neoliberal and free market ideas
through research, publishing, media commentary, and educational programmes. The
Institute is today at the forefront of making the case for free markets and a
free society in the United Kingdom.

FREEDOM FROM POVERTY THROUGH MARKETS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

Central to our mission is our belief that free markets work best for the poor.
No system has raised people out of poverty and given them the freedom to live
their lives as they wish like free markets have, and in politics today it is
usually the poorest people who bear the brunt of the government's worst policies
in areas like education, health and welfare. Our mission is to use free markets
to end poverty in Britain and around the world. We believe in:

 * Low, simple, flat taxes that encourage investment and innovation, and hence
   economic growth.

 * A voucher-based education system that gives parents and schools complete
   freedom over how and where children are educated.

 * A privately-provided, publicly-funded healthcare system where patient
   outcomes, not NHS wages, are the focus.

 * Freedom of trade with the world, and a liberal immigration system that is
   designed to work for migrants and natives alike.

 * A liberalised planning system that lets many more houses be built, so
   everyone can afford to own their own home.

 * A simple welfare system based around a Negative Income Tax or Basic Income
   that tops up the wages of the poor and guarantees that work always pays.

 * Free market money and an end to bailouts of private banks, in all their
   forms.

Rebooting Britain


PLANNING REFORM

Read our work on housing and planning, including how rolling back some of the
Green Belt would give us enough land for one million new houses.

LOWER, FLATTER TAXES

How lower, simpler, flatter taxes would give us enormous efficiency gains and
create an economic boom in Britain.

Practical Liberalism


DRUG REFORM

Drug prohibition has failed – drugs are easy to get hold of but are much more
dangerous than they would be in a legalised environment. We're working with
other groups to make the case for a sensible, evidence-based drugs policy that
protects users and takes drugs out of the hands of criminals.

Read more.


FREE MARKET WELFARE

The welfare state is outdated and needs reform so that it encourages work and
gives people control over their own lives. We follow Milton Friedman in
supporting a Negative Income Tax that tops up low-paid workers' wages and
guarantees that work always pays.

The Entrepreneurs Network

 

The Entrepreneurs Network is the Adam Smith Institute's sister think tank, for
the ambitious owners of Britain’s fastest growing businesses and aspirational
entrepreneurs. Through research, events and the media, it bridges the gap
between entrepreneurs and policymakers to help make Britain the best place in
the world to start and grow a business.

It supports entrepreneurs by:

 * Producing cutting-edge research outlining the benefits of easing unnecessary
   burdens upon enterprise;

 * Hosting regular events to bridge the gap between the aspirations of the
   entrepreneurial community and policy makers;

 * Building a network of entrepreneurs who are keen to improve the public policy
   debate;

 * Championing entrepreneurship and making the case for a more entrepreneurial
   society.
