Center of the American Experiment's mission is to build a culture of prosperity for Minnesota and the nation. Our daily pursuit is a free and thriving Minnesota whose cultural and intellectual center of gravity is grounded in the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, and time-tested American virtues.Through research, a stream of publications, op-eds and other media, public forums and legislative engagement, we work to create a new climate in which free market and cooperative ideas - once know as classically liberal ideas - are better understood, appreciated and applied.We offer leaders the intellectual ammunition they need to bring meaningful change; our efforts continue to make a tangible difference in the lives of Minnesotans.Center of the American Experiment is a non partisan 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, education organization.
