Prosperity comes when society respects the dignity of each person and his or her right to act as a moral agent. We believe individuals must see themselves as the active agents they are, and not passive victims. They must be empowered, not trapped under a paternalistic bureaucracy.<\/p>\n<p>Personal freedom and the free-market economy are continuously threatened by the power of big-government intervening to allegedly enhance social justice, equity, or efficiency in markets; but these efforts end up leading to the kind of crony capitalism that is so prevalent today: a system that claims to help everyone but benefits only a few at the expense of the many; a system that poorly manages rather than solves our most pressing issues.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" content_placement=\"middle\" el_class=\"about-row-1\"][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"2415\" img_size=\"full\"][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Our Philosophy (continued)<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We intend to create civic discourse with intellectually rigorous, data-driven information, on a wide range of existing and emerging policy issues that affect government, family, and society. It is our vision to make Puerto Rico a place where everyone wants to live and work. We aspire to be the institution of reference on economic policy issues while reinventing Puerto Rico\u2019s economy, from being a sluggish, government-driven one to an entrepreneurial, private sector-driven one guided by market-based solutions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" content_placement=\"middle\" el_class=\"about-row-1\" el_id=\"aboutourstory\"][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"863\" img_size=\"full\"][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Our Story<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]At the time of Hurricane Mar\u00eda (in September 2017), Jorge L. Rodr\u00edguez was thinking about what to do next. He was transitioning from PACIV, the international engineering firm serving the biopharmaceutical manufacturing sector he founded in 1997, after he moved out of the position of president. Jorge knew that his next endeavor should be one that would benefit his homeland, Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<p>After analyzing various options, he decided, along with his founding fellows at ILE, that the establishment of a free market think-do tank in Puerto Rico should be his next project. As a result, Jorge now dedicates most of his time, effort, and resources to ILE. In 2020, Jorge was awarded an Advanced Leadership Initiative (ALI) fellowship from Harvard University. ALI focuses on educating and preparing established leaders in the society to tackle the world\u2019s societal challenges, within their next career stage. During his time as an ALI fellow (2020-2021), Jorge developed and presented as his final project, the establishment of a free market think-do tank, called Puerto Rico Institute for Economic Liberty; and, at the same time, he academically prepared himself in the areas and topics on which the Institute will be working.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" content_placement=\"middle\" el_class=\"about-row-1\"][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"863\" img_size=\"full\"][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Our Story (continued)<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The idea of ILE arose among entrepreneurs and leaders of the private sector with a serious concern around the lack of understanding and appreciation of free market-based principles, as a solution to attend to the socio-economic challenges Puerto Rico faces. With this came a recognition that there was a glaring need for an institution that would take the road less traveled to defend economically sound public policies. Our belief is that a free market think-do tank based on the school of thought of classic liberalism is the lever to move Puerto Rico forward, using evidence-based and academically sound research to establish solid arguments while staying away from partisan politics.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row

Philosophy<\/h4><p>At ILE, we believe individual liberties, the rule of law, property rights, and an effective and limited government, sustain a healthy market economy which offers the greatest opportunity of freedom and prosperity for all. Prosperity comes when society respects the dignity of each person and his or her right to act as a moral agent. We believe individuals must see themselves as the active agents they are, and not passive victims. They must be empowered, not trapped under a paternalistic bureaucracy.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nPersonal freedom and the free-market economy are continuously threatened by the power of big-government intervening to allegedly enhance social justice, equity, or efficiency in markets; but these efforts end up leading to the kind of crony capitalism that is so prevalent today: a system that claims to help everyone but benefits only a few at the expense of the many; a system that poorly manages rather than solves our most pressing issues.<br \/>\n<\/p> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer><!--\n-->\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<rs-slide style=\"position: absolute;\" data-key=\"rs-17\" data-title=\"Nuestra filosof\u00eda 2\" data-seoz=\"front\" data-in=\"o:1;\" data-out=\"y:(-100%);\"  data-deeplink=\"about-phil-2\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/institutodelibertadeconomica.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/revslider\/public\/assets\/assets\/dummy.png\" alt=\"Nuestra filosof\u00eda 2\" title=\"About ILE\" class=\"rev-slidebg tp-rs-img rs-lazyload\" data-lazyload=\"\/\/institutodelibertadeconomica.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/revslider\/public\/assets\/assets\/transparent.png\" data-no-retina>\n<!--\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t--><rs-layer\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"slider-2-slide-17-layer-0\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-type=\"image\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-rsp_ch=\"on\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-xy=\"x:r;xo:640px,640px,401px,247px;y:m;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-text=\"w:normal;s:20,20,12,7;l:0,0,15,9;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-dim=\"w:1350px,1350px,846px,521px;h:1350px,1350px,846px,521px;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-wrpcls=\"slider-img-left\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-frame_999=\"o:0;st:w;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"z-index:5;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/institutodelibertadeconomica.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/revslider\/public\/assets\/assets\/dummy.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"tp-rs-img rs-lazyload\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-lazyload=\"\/\/institutodelibertadeconomica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/filosofia-1.jpg\" data-no-retina> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer><!--\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t--><rs-layer\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"slider-2-slide-17-layer-17\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-type=\"text\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-color=\"#1b2028\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-rsp_ch=\"on\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-xy=\"x:c;xo:295px,295px,184px,113px;y:m;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-text=\"w:normal;s:20,20,12,7;l:25,25,15,9;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-dim=\"w:476px,476px,298px,183px;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-wrpcls=\"slider-text-right\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-frame_999=\"o:0;st:w;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"z-index:19;font-family:'Inter';\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t><h4>Our Philosophy (continued)<\/h4><p>We intend to create civic discourse with intellectually rigorous, data-driven information, on a wide range of existing and emerging policy issues that affect government, family, and society.

Rodr\u00edguez was thinking about what to do next. He was transitioning from PACIV, the international engineering firm serving the biopharmaceutical manufacturing sector he founded in 1997, after he moved out of the position of president. Jorge knew that his next endeavor should be one that would benefit his homeland, Puerto Rico.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAfter analyzing various options, he decided, along with his founding fellows at ILE, that the establishment of a free market think-do tank in Puerto Rico should be his next project.

Creemos que las personas deben verse a s\u00ed mismas como los agentes activos que son y no como v\u00edctimas pasivas; deben estar empoderadas, no atrapadas bajo una burocracia paternalista.<\/p>\n<p>La libertad personal y la econom\u00eda de libre mercado se ven continuamente amenazadas por el poder del gran gobierno que interviene supuestamente en favor de la justicia social, la equidad o la eficiencia en los mercados; pero estos esfuerzos terminan conduciendo al tipo de capitalismo de compinches que prevalece hoy en d\u00eda: un sistema que pretende ayudar a todos, pero beneficia solo a unos pocos, a expensas de la mayor\u00eda; un sistema que gestiona mal, en lugar de resolver nuestros problemas m\u00e1s urgentes.<\/p>\n<p>Tenemos la intenci\u00f3n de crear un discurso c\u00edvico con informaci\u00f3n intelectualmente rigurosa y basada en datos, sobre una amplia gama de problemas de pol\u00edticas existentes y emergentes que afectan al gobierno, la familia y la sociedad. Nuestra visi\u00f3n es hacer de Puerto Rico un lugar donde todos quieran vivir y trabajar. Aspiramos a ser la instituci\u00f3n de referencia en temas de pol\u00edtica econ\u00f3mica mientras reinventamos la econom\u00eda de Puerto Rico, de una aletargada y centrada en el gobierno a una emprendedora impulsada por el sector privado y guiada por soluciones basadas en el mercado.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=\"middle\" el_class=\"overflow-visible-1 white\"][vc_column width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1683654373526{background-image: url(https:\/\/institutodelibertadeconomica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/nuestra-historia-2.jpg?id=863) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}\"][vc_empty_space height=\"320px\"][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1678133837319{padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #2d3440 !important;}\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Nuestra historia<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Al momento del paso del hurac\u00e1n Mar\u00eda (en septiembre de 2017), Jorge L. Rodr\u00edguez estaba pensando qu\u00e9 hacer a continuaci\u00f3n. Viv\u00eda una transici\u00f3n luego de dejar el cargo de presidente de PACIV, la firma internacional de ingenier\u00eda que brinda servicios al sector de manufactura biofarmac\u00e9utica fundada por \u00e9l en 1997. Jorge sab\u00eda que su pr\u00f3ximo emprendimiento deb\u00eda ser uno que beneficiara a su patria, Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<p>Despu\u00e9s de analizar varias opciones, decidi\u00f3 junto a sus compa\u00f1eros fundadores de ILE, que el establecer un centro de pensamiento de libre mercado en Puerto Rico ser\u00eda su pr\u00f3ximo proyecto. Como resultado, Jorge dedica ahora la mayor parte de su tiempo, esfuerzo y recursos a este nuevo emprendimiento. En 2020, Jorge recibi\u00f3 una beca Advanced Leadership Initiative (ALI) de Harvard University. ALI se centra en educar y preparar a l\u00edderes empresariales establecidos para abordar, en su pr\u00f3xima etapa profesional, los desaf\u00edos sociales que el mundo enfrenta. Durante sus dos a\u00f1os como becario ALI (2020-2021), Jorge desarroll\u00f3 y present\u00f3 como proyecto final, el establecimiento de un centro de pensamiento de libre mercado denominado Instituto de Libertad Econ\u00f3mica para Puerto Rico; y, a su vez, se prepar\u00f3 acad\u00e9micamente en las \u00e1reas y los temas a los que se dedicar\u00e1 el Instituto.<\/p>\n<p>La idea de ILE surgi\u00f3 entre empresarios y l\u00edderes del sector privado con una seria preocupaci\u00f3n por la falta de comprensi\u00f3n y valoraci\u00f3n de los principios del libre mercado, para hacer frente a los desaf\u00edos socioecon\u00f3micos de Puerto Rico. Reconocimos que exist\u00eda una necesidad imperiosa de una instituci\u00f3n que tomara el camino menos transitado, para defender pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas econ\u00f3micamente coherentes. Creemos que un centro de pensamiento de libre mercado apoyado en la escuela de pensamiento del liberalismo cl\u00e1sico es la herramienta para hacer avanzar a Puerto Rico, utilizando investigaci\u00f3n acad\u00e9micamente s\u00f3lida y basada en evidencia para establecer argumentos firmes dejando de lado la pol\u00edtica partidista.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=\"stretch_row\" disable_element=\"yes\" css=\".vc_custom_1678806063128{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}\"][vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" gap=\"35\" equal_height=\"yes\" css=\".vc_custom_1678372674836{padding-top: 0px !important;}\"][vc_column width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1678372670044{padding-top: 0px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/institutodelibertadeconomica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/sobre-ile.jpg?id=200) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}\"][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1678372588621{padding-top: 128px !important;padding-bottom: 96px !important;}\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Sobre ile<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Somos el Instituto de Libertad Econ\u00f3mica para Puerto Rico, una instituci\u00f3n sin fines de lucro (1101.01 (a)(2)(B), 501(c)(3)), no partidista fundada en 2019, que nace del deseo genuino de encontrar una nueva forma para que los residentes de Puerto Rico salgan adelante.
