Empowering Freedom, Igniting Prosperity

For nearly five decades, the Free Market Foundation has been a tireless advocate
for policies that maximise human freedom and dignity.

LIBERTY FIRST

Our Liberty First initiative is rooted in the belief that the path to prosperity is clear: countries with free markets, strong property rights, open trade, sound money, and limited government intervention are the most successful and offer the highest standards of living for all their citizens. 

South Africa’s Economic Freedom of the World (EFW) ranking has fallen to its lowest level since 1994, but we believe that with the right policies, we can reverse this trend and restore our nation’s potential.

Liberty First outlines a comprehensive policy agenda that aligns with the EFW framework, offering practical reforms that will lead South Africa back to economic freedom and prosperity.
