The Infinite Banking Concept is not about investments of any kind. It is about how one finances the things of life, which can certainly include investments. It is not about rates of return. As time goes by interest rates are up and interest rates are down — but the process of banking goes on no matter what is happening. It is a well known fact that banks make more money during times of low interest rates than when rates are high. |

This direction recognizes the benefits of a limited government, but also the beneficent consequences of a free market. ... It is our hope that by demonstrating the compatibility of faith, liberty, and free economic activity, religious leaders and entrepreneurs can contribute by helping to shape a society that is secure, free, and virtuous."

"Political action is no substitute for a real long-term revolution in ideas. The Mises Institute was founded to make that possible, and we're succeeding through a huge range of programs that have served students, scholars, and professionals all over the world. By advancing the Austrian School and the scholarship of liberty, the Institute is bringing about change for the better."

"The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), one of the oldest free-market organizations in the United States, was founded in 1946 by Leonard E. Read to study and advance the freedom philosophy. FEE’s mission is to offer the most consistent case for the “first principles” of freedom: the sanctity of private property, individual liberty, the rule of law, the free market, and the moral superiority of individual choice and responsibility over coercion."
