Philosophy
The Institute is considered a left leaning think tank with its general direction described as: "Private markets, while effective at encouraging efficiency in many circumstances, frequently fail to reflect adequately the ethical, social and environmental priorities of the community ... Market outcomes are not value free and the Institute reasserts the place of ethics in making public and private decisions".[1]
