ACADEMY LAUNCHES NEW INITIATIVES EXPLORING THE IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN BUSINESSES AND SOCIAL CHANGE, FAIRNESS, AND HUMAN WELL-BEING.
Thanks to generous donor support, including a new major six-figure gift to the university, the Academy is launching a new Project on Business and Society. The goal of this Business and Society initiative is to spur thinking about the critical interconnectedness of for-profit businesses (large and small) and all aspects of human and social well-being, including inequality, fairness, equal opportunity, environmental quality, social tolerance and discord, and how to move beyond the toxic negativity that has come to dominate contemporary public discourse. The Project’s launch includes the addition of two new Senior Fellows and faculty members to help support the Academy’s educational mission.
Nothing had a greater impact on my intellectual development than the Academy on Capitalism and Limited Government Foundation.




About the Academy
Our Founding Fathers subscribed to and advocated an enlightened yet limited government, one that vigorously promotes political freedom and economic opportunity, one that anticipates and nurtures the unlimited potential and private energies of the individual.
Disclaimer
The Academy on Capitalism and Limited Government Foundation is not a unit of the University of Illinois, rather is a supporting organization to the University of Illinois Foundation providing philanthropic investment in programs which comport with the Academy Mission and expressed donor intent and the teaching, research, and service missions of the University.
