Tom Giovanetti is president of the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI), a 38-year-old conservative, free-market public policy “think tank” based in Dallas, Texas.
In addition to his administrative and fundraising duties, Tom writes for IPI and for leading publications on a variety of policy topics including tax policy, economic growth, self-government, civil liberties and constitutional protections, judicial supremacy, intellectual property, Social Security personal accounts, technology and Internet policy, and government spending. In addition to being regularly published in major outlets including the Wall Street Journal, Washington Times, FoxNews.com and The Dallas Morning News, Tom writes often for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Tom frequently appears in the media and is a regular guest and occasional substitute host of the Mark Davis Show in the Dallas-Fort Worth market.
Tom loves thinking out-of-the-box to design novel solutions to policy problems and explaining complicated policy issues in ways average folks can understand.
Tom's mission at IPI is to use issues to teach conservative, free market thinking and to push back against unprincipled populism. He seeks to encourage continued skepticism of Big Government, to maintain faith in markets, and to defend individual liberty as the best means of achieving human flourishing. His most recent work has focused on free market solutions to student loan debt, preserving online freedom, and persuading state legislatures to override local and municipal rules that restrict economic liberty.
Mr. Giovanetti has represented IPI at many national and international organizations, including the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), and represented IPI during negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement. Mr. Giovanetti is a popular speaker and writer and testifies before state and federal legislative committees on a variety of topics.
