Welcome to the Lucidicus Project
The Lucidicus Project encourages medical students to learn more about the philosophic foundations of capitalism and individual rights, and consider how these ideas apply to healthcare and medicine.
We raise money to provide free books to students who are studying medicine, nursing, and other healthcare professions. Our Self-Defense Kit for students contains materials that explain the moral and economic case for individual rights and capitalism. We award these kits to students across the United States and around the world.
We also regularly publish brief editorials on current topics in health policy and reform. Past editorials are available via the archive.
The Lucidicus Project exists and grows thanks to its supporters. Kits are distributed free of charge to medical students, and no subscription or registration is required for visitors to read the editorials we post online.
If defending individual rights and free markets is important to you, and if you value this cause, then please consider supporting The Lucidicus Project today.
