About
An institute built around one argument
Most economic commentary treats prosperity as fragile and decline as imminent. Parkview was founded on the opposite reading: that the present is remarkable, that free people produced it, and that the case for why deserves to be made better than it usually is.
The Parkview Institute is an economics-education nonprofit. The economist John Tamny founded it in 2023 and serves as its president. It is organized as a 501(c)(3) and funded by people who want the argument made.
The work is mostly writing. Parkview publishes essays several times a week on the questions where it thinks the free-market side has ceded ground it should not have — the national debt, the Federal Reserve, tariffs, immigration, and the persistent belief that a booming economy is a bubble waiting to pop.
The audience is not only people who already agree. The essays are written to be readable by someone who thinks the opposite and wants to know why anyone would argue otherwise.
