Campaign for Free Enterprise

There is only one path forward that will restore America’s economic vitality, create opportunity, and put Americans back to work—and that is free enterprise. That’s why the U.S. Chamber started the Campaign for Free Enterprise, a nationwide effort to support the ideals that advance economic growth and create jobs.

America faces big challenges. There is only one path forward that will restore America’s economic vitality and create opportunity—and that is free enterprise. Our economic system has allowed us to build the single greatest engine of growth and shared prosperity that the world has ever known. Free enterprise enables many not only to “dream big” but to fulfill their dreams.

But we must allow it to work its wonders—to create opportunity and foster innovation, not rely on big government.

That’s why the U.S. Chamber started the Campaign for Free Enterprise, a nationwide effort to support the ideals that advance economic growth and create jobs.

Through special programs, public engagement, and youth outreach, the campaign highlights free enterprise policies, people, and programs that create opportunity, foster innovation, and support the greatest economy on earth.
