Anthony Wile is an author, political analyst, financial markets commentator, entrepreneur and founder of several successful free-market oriented Internet sites including Free-Market News Network (FMNN) [1] and The Daily Bell. [2] In founding these sites, Anthony brought a perspective based on more than 20 years of financial and business experience working with growth-oriented companies in a variety of sectors. In aggregate these free-market educational websites have reached millions of viewers and have remained on the cutting edge of alternative news publishing.

In 2004 while running FMNN, Wile was among the early adopters of video-Internet news programs. The programs included: This Week in Liberty with Harry Browne and Weekly World Report. In that same year, Wile secured the exclusive Internet broadcast rights for the 3rd-party debates for the Presidency of the United States. The debates, covered by the FMNN team of broadcasters including former two-time Libertarian candidate for US Presidency Harry Browne, were an enormous success, with more than 500,000 people logging on.

In 2008, Wile founded a Swiss-based publishing firm and started publishing The Daily Bell. Today, Wile continues to be the publication's Chief Editor. In 2011, Wile launched a non-profit foundation – The Foundation for the Advancement of Free-Market Thinking (FAFMT) [3] – and donated the successful Internet publication, along with personal funds, to the Foundation. Wile serves as FAFMT's Executive Director and has established an experienced advisory board consisting of some of today's leading free-market thinkers.

In 2003, Wile published his first book as Yang titled, "The Liberation of Flockhead". Wile's second book, "High Alert," [4] published under his own name in the summer of 2007, has been well received by the hard-money community and alternative media in general. High Alert is currently in its third edition and in addition to its native English edition, is available in German and Chinese as well. Wile has assisted with the completion of over a dozen additional free-market oriented books, working as a collaborative editor to several leading free-market thinkers.

Wile invented a term – dominant social theme – to encapsulate the process by which a powerful money elite deceives citizens into giving up their liberties. The process usually invokes the use of fear-based messaging that targets the bottom two levels of Maslow's heirachy of needs and where the larger percentage of citizenry is trapped.
