Established in 1984, the Capital Research Center is “America’s Investigative Think Tank,” conducting investigative journalism on unions, environmentalist groups, and a wide variety of non-profit and activist organizations. CRC has exposed how those organizations are “captured” by interest groups and used to undermine Americans’ freedoms. We also keep an eye on crony capitalists who seek to profit by taking advantage of government regulations and by getting their hands on taxpayers’ money. We believe in free markets, Constitutional government, and individual liberty. We’re not afraid to take on the Washington Establishment—Republican, Democrat, or anyone else.
