Edward C. Harwood (1900-1980) is one of the 20th century’s most eloquent and effective voices for economic science, sound money, and market freedom. He explained credit cycles at the start of the Great Depression. He resisted the New Deal. He debated John Maynard Keynes on economic theory. He resisted wartime censorship with courageous defiance. 

In 1933, he founded the first independent research institute in the United States, the American Institute for Economic Research, which today remains a home for excellence in scholarship, teaching, and commentary. 

This is the story of his life and work.
