Description
Free-Market.Net was originally started by Chris Whitten in 1995 as free-market.com. The idea was to have a central clearinghouse on the newly burgeoning World-Wide Web for libertarian ideas, organizations, and people.
FMN worked to encourage libertarian organizations such as the Cato Institute, Reason magazine, Laissez Faire Books, Independent Institute, and the Competitive Enterprise Institute to create websites and distribute information.
On the other side, FMN worked to connect website visitors to the organizations, events, books, articles, and other individuals who might interest them.
In 1997, the Space:Henry Hazlitt Foundation was established as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization to host Free-Market.Net.
In 2001, Chris Whitten left his full-time work at FMN in order to start a for-profit business. Louis James took over as president.
In 2002, FMN and The Henry Hazlitt Foundation folded. The Institute for Humane Studies bought libertarian.org, the Independent Institute took ifeminists.com, Bureaucrash spun off into a new organization, and Free-Market.Net went to the International Society for Individual Liberty (ISIL).
