Founded by Alex Bleier and Kevin Osborne, the Thomas Paine Institute (TPI) is inspired by Paine’s famous proclamation—“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.” TPI aims to establish a new sovereign society grounded in Pure Capitalism, individual rights, and voluntary cooperation. 

Core Vision
TPI champions the creation of a socioeconomic system of Pure Capitalism in which all property is privately owned, individual rights are protected, and all human interactions are voluntary and non-coercive. 

What Sets Us Apart
Unlike individuals and organizations working for positive incremental change,  TPI is a freedom‑driven initiative with the bold objective of building a new capitalist society from scratch in a fresh geographic setting. Facebook

TPI articulates core principles, a new socioeconomic framework, and the case for a fresh start. It also offers essays, books, and audio content. Check out our thematic sections: Vision, Declaration of Freedom, To Begin the World Over Again, and The Prometheus Frontier.
