About Parkview
An optimistic case for economic freedom
The Parkview Institute is an economics education nonprofit founded by author John Tamny in 2023. We publish economic commentary and bring our writers into public discussion.
Why Parkview exists
John founded Parkview to pursue the economic questions that drive his writing: how people create wealth, what money makes possible and how policy affects the freedom to produce and exchange.
His optimism about the future goes together with a willingness to challenge familiar arguments, including those of the free-market right. The institute gives readers a place to encounter that work and follow the reasoning beyond a headline.
What we do
Our essays cover trade, money, technology, government and economic life. The issue guides introduce recurring questions and lead readers into the original writing.
The Parkview Letter delivers John’s latest essays by email. Our online writing is free to read.
John also develops his ideas in books and participates in interviews, campus talks, panels and debates. Books are available through their publishers and booksellers; speaking arrangements are discussed with each host.
A name from Pasadena
Parkview takes its name from the street where John grew up in Pasadena, California. The San Gabriel Mountains were the backdrop to that neighborhood and to the institute’s original website.
People and governance
