Rod Richardson
President
Grace Richardson Fund
Rod Richardson serves as president of The Grace Richardson Fund, a private foundation pioneering new free market policy solutions to critical issues in political gridlock. He also co-chairs the Clean Capitalist Leadership Council, a fellowship of clean capitalist thinkers, investors, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists driving policy innovation based in the insight that clean capitalism is now best accelerated by exactly the same policies that have always spurred the most rapid growth of all capitalism: the traditional, conservative, laissez-faire framework based on removing barriers to capital, participation, trade and competition; lowering taxes, tariffs, regulations, and monopoly privileges, while expanding civil and economic rights, opportunities and freedoms.
Barrier-free clean capitalism offers a fresh conservation-rooted paradigm, with no sticks, and barrier-removal as a better kind of carrot, capable of uniting conservatives, Americans and the world, and turning capitalism into clean capitalism. A Free-Market Optimist, Mr. Richardson pens an occasional column for The American Spectator by that name.
