  • Charles Koch
    harles Koch stands out among the world’s major philanthropists in the extent to which the principles and practices that animate his giving also animate his personal life, his politics, and his business. C“Charles,” says Richard Fink, who has worked with him for more than three decades, “is the most consistent person I have ever met.” Kim Dennis, president of the Searle Freedom Trust, says of Koch, that, when it comes to promoting free markets, “he has done more by far than any other donor.” It’s this inte - gration—this intensity, based on a set of bedrock ideals—that accounts for his remarkable success in advanc - ing social progress through what he calls the “science of liberty.” James K. Glassman is the founding executive director of the George W. Bush Institute in Dallas. He was formerly a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and served as Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs from 2008 to 2009.
