Here is a very basic search. I do not think it is worthy of FReepers to put the Koch brothers in the same category as Soros.

“Economic freedom is a system in which private property rights are fully respected under an impartial and beneficial rule of law; where people are free to voluntarily trade for what they need and want; that they have sound money which gives people an effective medium of exchange. Finally, government is kept small and limited to those activities that contribute to societal well-being, rather than undermine it.”
