The Friedberg Economics Institute was founded in Israel in 2014 as a non-profit organization with a mission to advance, in Israel, the understanding of and the appreciation for the principles of economic freedom and the potential for improving growth and prosperity through application of these principles. The Friedberg Economics Institute sponsors seminars, bringing the world’s best economists and economic policy makers to Israel to teach ideas of free-market oriented economic thinking and principles of economic freedom. The Institute’s initial target audience is Israeli university students.  Over time we hope to broaden our audience to include thought leaders in government, business, and the press.
