IBL organizes conferences, publishes books, briefings and academic papers, and assists undergraduate and graduate students with their research work.

In particular, as stated on its website, the Institute aims to “contribute to the Italian political discourse, to enable a proper appreciation of the role of liberty and private enterprise as pillars of a more prosperous and open society”.

In particular, IBL is dedicated to promoting the principles of individual freedom, limited government and free markets and its philosophy is based on Bruno Leoni’s thoughts and ideas.

[16][17][18][19] Several important politicians, such as Italy’s former Prime Ministers Silvio Berlusconi, Romano Prodi[20] and Lamberto Dini[21] have expressed an interest for IBL’s flat tax reform.

The “Discorsi” is structured as an in-depth lecture by a distinguished scholar or author, in which a seminal topic is investigated from a free-market, individual liberty perspective.
