Adam Smith International

Adam Smith International

Adam Smith International (ASI) is the consulting arm of the free-market think tank, the Adam Smith Institute. With offices in London and Delhi, and several project-focussed offices elsewhere, ASI has been hired by several governments to theorize and implement market-based solutions for developing and transitional countries worldwide. The firm specializes in reform of government, including privatization, decentralization, turning state-sponsored industries into self-financing private sector corporations, and anti-corruption initiatives. The Institute has at times generated controversy by allocating significant amounts of their resources to publicity campaigns which champion their work.
