“Politics is a dirty business, a ruse, an ideological cul-de-sac, a vast looter of intellectual and financial resources, a lie that corrupts, a deceiver, a means of unleashing vast evil in the world of the most unexpected and undetected sort and the greatest diverter of human productivity ever concocted by those who do not believe in authentic social and economic progress.”
An author, economist, and outspoken advocate for voluntary cooperation and free markets, Tucker is the founder and president of the Brownstone Institute, an organization established in 2021 to defend civil liberties, scientific inquiry, and freedom of association, particularly in response to the expansive government controls seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. With a background in the Austrian School tradition and a flair for provocative clarity, Tucker has long challenged centralized power and technocratic governance.
Through his prolific writing, including books like Liberty or Lockdown and Bourbon for Breakfast, as well as countless essays and interviews, Tucker has become a leading voice in the movement for decentralized social and economic order. His work consistently elevates the dignity of the individual and critiques the coercive machinery of the modern state, urging a return to the principles of spontaneous order, peaceful exchange, and human flourishing.
