R Street launches new Center for the Seven Seas

Описание: The R Street Institute is excited to launch the Center for the Seven Seas. This new policy center at R Street will work to re-establish letters of marque and reprisal, support the free flow of goods through international shipping routes, and repeal the Jones Act.


We are in a time where nation-states are struggling to respond to maritime threats, leaving the private sector to defend itself. Just as our forefathers provided a pathway for privateers to keep our fleets safe, the Center for the Seven Seas has been formed to tackle the most challenging policy issues at sea.

Our policy priorities include, among others:

Research and development for modernizing pirate outfits
North Sea policing reform
Jones Act repeal
Maritime insurance

You can voluntarily contribute to our cause–flags, peg legs, and rations aren’t cheap–or bid to fill one of the openings on our crew. Otherwise, we’ll see you on the high seas as we scoop up any lost treasure along the way.

R Street Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research organization. Our mission is to engage in policy research and outreach to promote free markets and limited, effective government.

We believe free markets work better than the alternatives. We also recognize that the legislative process calls for practical responses to current problems. To that end, our motto is “Free markets. Real solutions.”

We offer research and analysis that advance the goals of a more market-oriented society and an effective, efficient government, with the full realization that progress on the ground tends to be made one inch at a time. In other words, we look for free-market victories on the margin.
