Corporate Funding of the Libertarian Movement
The Foundation for Economic Freedom, a key driver of libertarian ideology, was founded by a Chamber of Commerce executive and funded by major corporations like General Motors and DuPont. This movement was designed to provide a "pseudo-intellectual" rationale for attacking government regulations and labor laws. By framing deregulation as a matter of personal liberty, corporate interests successfully co-opted public sentiment to serve their own financial agendas.
