Help Us Lead America to Freedom

by Jacob G. Hornberger August 22, 2024

Libertarian ideas matter. They have consequences. When they enter people’s minds, they can change their way of thinking about liberty. I recently delivered presentations at the annual PorcFest festival in New Hampshire and FreedomFest conference in Las Vegas. At FreedomFest, I encountered a man who said to me, “Jacob, I would like you to know that your work at ...

Help Us Advance Liberty in the Year Ahead

by Jacob G. Hornberger December 22, 2023

I am writing to seek your end-of-year financial support for The Future of Freedom Foundation to help us advance liberty in the year ahead.

by Jacob G. Hornberger June 28, 2023

Some 45 years ago, I discovered four little books in the public library of my hometown of Laredo, Texas.

Read, Ludwig von Mises, Henry Hazlitt, Frédéric Bastiat, Bettina Bien Greaves, F.A. Harper, Frank Chodorov, and Clarence Manion. Those four ...

Spreading the Light of Liberty

by Jacob G. Hornberger December 21, 2022

Imagine a large, dark, windowless room filled with hundreds of people. Then imagine that one person lights a small candle, bringing a ray of light to that dark room. That person uses his candle to light someone else’s candle, bringing a bit more light to the room. Each person with a lit candle then lights someone else’s candle. Before ...

Help FFF Restore Sound Money

by Jacob G. Hornberger August 11, 2022

Gas prices are at an all-time high. Rents are skyrocketing. Prices at the grocery store are surging. Prices of new and used cars are spiraling out of control. That’s what happens when the Federal Reserve debases the currency by inflating the money supply, which the Fed has been doing for the past several years and, actually, since its inception ...

Help FFF Advance Liberty in the Year Ahead

by Jacob G. Hornberger December 23, 2021

Today, we have one of the best opportunities in our lifetime to advance liberty. It might not seem like that, especially given the massive assaults on our liberty and well-being brought on by COVID-19 regulations, but the fact is that we are living in a time in which many people are thinking, pondering, and reflecting on the situation in ...

Help Us Light the Darkness

by Jacob G. Hornberger December 29, 2020

 There is one light shining through the darkness of the ever-increasing tyranny under which we live. That light is libertarianism. We must continue doing everything we can not only to keep that light lit, but also to increase its intensity and brightness. That’s what we ...

A Time That Tries Men’s Souls

by Jacob G. Hornberger August 27, 2020

In the midst of the turmoil in which our country is enveloped, I am reminded of the immortal words of Thomas Paine: These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, ...
