Revision as of 18:35, 15 November 2006

The Independent Institute (TII) is a think tank that was founded in 1986 by David J. Theroux, who is also the president of the think tank.

TII has been a vocal opponent of the "war on drugs", immigration restrictions, corporate welfare, censorship, the neoconservative ("Bush Doctrine") of pre-emptive war, restrictions on reproductive rights, and the death penalty. It also contests the dominant view of scientists of the need for urgent action to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

Antitrust Protectionism, Microsoft, and Oracle

The New York Times had on September 18, 1999 an article by Joel Brinkley called "‘Unbiased’ Ads for Microsoft Came at a Price". The ads had printed TII's Open Letter on Antitrust Protectionism, which was signed by 240 academic economists and claimed "headline-grabbing cases against Microsoft, Intel, Cisco Systems, Visa and MasterCard, along with a flurry of merger investigations now under way, would appear to demonstrate the need for a vigorously enforced antitrust policy that will create checks and balances to eliminate consumer harm. However, consumers did not ask for these antitrust actions — rival business firms did. [1] (Pdf) (See accompanying media release).

Funding

On its website the Institute states that it "receives no government funding. Instead, it draws its support from a diverse range of foundations, businesses and individuals, and the sale of its publications and other services." [2] The Institute does not list which foundations or corporations it receives funding from on its website.

However, some funders of the Institute have been identified. These include:

  • Philip Morris contributed a donation of $10,000 in 1997 [3] and a donation of $25,000 in 1998. [4]
  • Exxon donated $10,000 in 1998 [5]; $5,000 in 2000 and 2001, $10,000 as Exxon Mobil in 2002 [6]; $10,000 in 2003 and $30,000 in 2005. [7]
  • The San Francisco Foundation contributed $10,000 in fiscal year 2000 (July 1, 1999-June 30, 2000) ([8])

According to Media Transparency, TII has received $678,000 (unadjusted for inflation) between 1995 and 2005. [9] Grants have included those from:
