Activities of the Center for Global Economic Growth (GEG)

Provides experts from FreedomWorks and other free market think tanks and activist organizations to help educate and train professionals in non-U.S. public policy, limited government, and taxpayer organizations on: 

1. The mechanics and management of developing and maintaining free market “grass roots” organizations.
2. Fundraising techniques to support such organizations.
3. Dealing with the media for maximum positive public exposure.
4. Specific policies that further economic growth and individual liberty, such as, tax competition, financial privacy, protection of intellectual property rights, and the dangers of destructive policies and activities of international institutions.
5. The operation and management of weekly broad coalition meetings in their respective countries, which would include representatives of all groups sharing part of the free market agenda, including taxpayer organizations, business associations, and other public policy research and activist groups.
6. Techniques for directly influencing elected representatives and other government officials.

In addition, it provides the non-U.S. organizations with policy papers and other materials produced by think tanks throughout the world and the rights to publish and distribute the Standard Book of Economic Terms and Concepts in the language of the home country of the free market organization.  

In order to minimize overhead expenses, GEG contracts with other organizations to provide the experts, and the management of the conferences and training seminars

 

“Countries which have a strong rule of law, protect private property, engage in relatively free trade, have free markets, use a sound currency, and maintain relatively low levels of government spending, taxing, and regulation, will grow much more rapidly than those countries that do not follow these constructive policies.” learn more
