  History of Corporate Funding of Conservative Think Tanks


Corporate funding for right-wing policy work has its roots in the 1970s, when leading conservative thinkers appealed to corporations to fund intellectuals who supported their economic interests. Irving Kristol, in his 1978 book "Two Cheers for Capitalism", argued that corporations should make "philantrophic contributions to scholars and institutions who are likely to advocate preservation of a strong private sector.". At the same time think tank entrepreneurs like Ed Feulner of Heritage and Edward Crane of CATO moved to cultivate corporate allies. At most conservative think tanks, corporate leaders now make up the overwhelming majority of board members.
