The Acton Institute is committed to the free exchange of goods and services between persons, and acknowledges the essential relationship between a free, open economy and a free and prosperous people. We affirm that isolating countries from the global economy creates perverse incentives for the regimes that govern them, and harms the material well-being of their citizens. We support efforts to remove barriers to trade between nations and to bring all persons into the circle of exchange.
