Markets & Minds
Freedom, liberty, basically individual rights, that idea of dealing with other people in a matter that is not initiating force against them is critical to me.
Jimmy Wales is best known as the co-founder of Wikipedia, the free collaborative encyclopedia that has ranked among the world’s most visited websites for nearly a quarter century. Inspired by libertarian thinkers such as Ayn Rand and Friedrich Hayek, he has emphasized voluntary cooperation and individual liberty as guiding principles in his work. Wales has received numerous honors for his contributions to knowledge and digital access, including recognition on Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Sidebar: Jimmy Wales once tried to edit his own Wikipedia page, only to have the edits rolled back by other users.
