Harry Browne (1933-2006) was an American libertarian author, investment advisor, and politician known for his influential ideas on personal freedom, free markets, and limited government.
Born in New York City, Browne became recognized as a prominent figure within the libertarian movement in the late 20th century. His primarily non-fiction works, including several best-selling books, served to popularize libertarian principles and solidify his status as a leading advocate for individual liberty. His most notable works include "How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World" (1973) and "Why Government Doesn't Work" (1995).
As an investment advisor, Browne developed the concept of "permanent portfolio" – a diversified investment strategy that sought to minimize risk by allocating investments across multiple asset classes, including stocks, bonds, cash, and precious metals. This approach aimed to safeguard individual wealth and achieve long-term financial independence.
Politically, Browne was the Libertarian Party nominee for President of the United States in both 1996 and 2000. He promoted a platform focused on reducing government interference in people's lives, cutting taxes, and dismantling bureaucratic barriers to individual freedom and economic growth.
Despite his electoral losses, Browne's contributions as a libertarian thinker and advocate have had a lasting impact on the movement. His ideas and writings continue to resonate with individuals seeking to challenge the status quo and champion personal liberty in society and politics.
