Brownstone Institute

Brownstone Institute is a nonprofit organization located in Austin, Texas, dedicated to social and economic research. The institute was conceptualized in May 2021 with a vision of a society that values voluntary interaction and minimizes the use of violence and force. The institute aims to uphold core values of human rights and freedom, especially in times of crisis.

The name "Brownstone" is inspired by the malleable yet durable building stone used in 19th-century American cities, symbolizing the institute's commitment to rebuilding the foundation of liberalism. Brownstone Institute seeks to prevent the recurrence of lockdowns by holding decision-makers accountable and providing a vision for a different approach to freedom, security, and public life.

Through research, publishing, and organizing conferences, Brownstone Institute aims to generate new ideas in public health, scientific discourse, economics, and social theory. The institute advocates for essential freedoms, including intellectual freedom and free speech, and strives to promote a society where everyone benefits from liberty.

With a focus on challenging mainstream media and technocratic approaches, Brownstone Institute operates with a small but highly competent team dedicated to changing the world. The institute collaborates with scientists, intellectuals, and others committed to preserving essential rights and liberties, even in times of crisis.

Overall, Brownstone Institute aims to influence a post-lockdown world by advocating for an open and free society, rejecting violations of rights and liberties at the discretion of political leaders. The institute's work is guided by a commitment to intellectual freedom, accountability, and the preservation of essential rights for all.
