Sir John Templeton said, “Over twenty years ago, my friend Sir Antony Fisher, the founder of Atlas [Network], helped me understand better the benefits accrued by all people worldwide from keeping government small and by continually opening wider the incentives for innovation, efficiency and discovery which result from more free competition.” -Sir John Templeton, 2004
