The story of the American founding is inextricably linked with a quest for economic liberty. From restrictions on trade to heavy taxes, tyranny in the economic sphere is one of the most commonly cited abuses of governmental power that sparked the American Revolution. Economic theories played a central role in the debates leading to the Constitution’s ratification.
Indeed, the “American Dream” itself can be characterized in terms of economic self-determination, including the right to choose a profession, earn a livelihood, and buy and sell on the same terms as fellow citizens. The twentieth century witnessed a vast expansion of governmental power and the administrative state, which some scholars have argued has distorted the Framers’ original constitutional design—all with a profound impact on economic liberty and welfare, and thus the way of life for millions of Americans.
Today, Americans remain deeply divided over the meaning and importance of economic liberty, and, as a result, the topic often animates social discourse and decision-making at all levels of government. The question of how much the government ought to intrude into the economic realm is a fundamental fault line that divides not only American conservatives and liberals, but also conservatives and libertarians, as well as adherents to various schools of thought within each of those political philosophies. As a matter of constitutional interpretation, even staunch originalists disagree with one another over the extent to which the nation’s charter protects economic liberty.
The Symposium’s panels will
- focus on the legal and philosophical roots of economic liberty
- explore how those roots should inform jurisprudence and political thought in addressing contemporary issues.

The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group of conservatives and libertarians interested in the current state of the legal order.
It is founded on the principles
- that the state exists to preserve freedom
- that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution
- that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.
