John Locke Foundation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The John Locke Foundation is a free market think tank in North Carolina started in 1990. The organization advocates lowering taxes, decreasing spending on social support programs, and encouraging free markets. John Hood is its current president.
The Foundation is concerned primarily with state and local issues. The greater part of its funding comes from North Carolina conservative grantmaking foundations, some led by Republican party activists.
It is named after the philosopher John Locke, who was a primary contributor to what we understand as the idea of classical liberalism.
