Topics
Mercatus Center Confidence: 90% Arrow up

The Mercatus Center at George Mason University is an American non-profit free-market-oriented research, education, and outreach think tank directed by Tyler Cowen.

It works with policy experts, lobbyists, and government officials to connect academic learning and real-world practice.

Taking its name from the Latin word for "markets", the Center advocates free-market approaches to public policy.

During the George W.

Bush administration's campaign to reduce government regulation, the Wall Street Journal reported, "14 of the 23 rules the White House chose for its "hit list" to eliminate or modify were Mercatus entries.".

George Mason University Confidence: 88% Arrow up

George Mason University (also Mason), located in George Mason in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States, is the largest public research university in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The university was founded as a branch of the University of Virginia in 1949 and became an independent institution in 1972.

Today, Mason is recognized for its programs in economics, law, creative writing, computer science, and business.

In recent years, George Mason faculty have twice won the Nobel Prize in Economics.

The university enrolls 33,917 students, making it the largest university by head count in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Market economy Confidence: 68% Arrow up

A market economy is an economic system where decisions regarding investment, production, and distribution are based on the interplay of supply and demand, which determines the prices of goods and services.

The major defining characteristic of a market economy is that investment decisions, or the allocation of producer good, are primarily made through capital and financial markets.

This is contrasted with a planned economy, where investment and production decisions are embodied in an integrated plan of production established by a state or other organizational body that controls the factors of production.
