Legatum Institute

The Legatum Institute exists to promote the prosperity of individuals, families, communities and nations. Prosperity is much more than money or wealth, it is about growth, opportunity, freedom and responsibility. History reveals the foundations of prosperity which are the beliefs, values, culture and traditions that create virtuous people, trust-based societies and strong nations. By understanding what has worked before, we can thoughtfully apply ancient wisdom to modern challenges, translating sound principles into better institutions and policies. Today, the Institute is comprised of two separate but complementary organisations – Legatum Institute Limited, a research and policy institute and The Legatum Institute Foundation (the "Foundation"), a registered charity – and is also a founding partner of a bold, new joint venture initiative called the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship.
