Quote:HOW ATLAS WORKS
Venture capital firms use specialized expertise to invest in startup companies with the goal of achieving very high returns. Atlas operates in a similar manner, putting resources into new and innovative institutes and programs, then monitoring those investments to improve their chances of success.
While the think tank industry is still very young, Atlas is guided by individuals on its Board and Staff who have played many roles and have many years of experience within the think tank movement.
Atlas's investments are long-term in nature, but with incredible upside for changing the climate of ideas and improving the prospects for human freedom and flourishing around the world.
In addition to advising young institutes, Atlas hosts workshops and networking events; administers prize programs; and undertakes special projects that bring more resources to local institutes.
Atlas also publishes its Highlights newsletter; maintains a Toolkit of advice helpful for think tank managers; and features online informaiton-sharing tools - such as our Directory, Classifieds, Calendar and Blog Hub, to provide you with a convenient way to access information about this disperse global network.

Whatever one might say about Mr. Murdock, it is undeniable that his point of view is partisan, and given what i have now read about him online, including what he writes himself, that his remarks are motivated by partisanship. I am not convinced of anything by what he writes in Finn's quoted article, either.
