Investor's Business Daily (IBD) is a national newspaper in the United States, published Monday through Friday, that covers international business, finance, and the global economy. It was founded in 1984 by William O'Neil. Its headquarters are in Los Angeles, California.
Its politics on economics are strong fiscal conservatism even libertarianism and on foreign policy its politics are hard-line counter-terrorism, even more so than the stance taken by The Wall Street Journal. Its editorial page is especially pro-capitalist, vociferous against taxes, vocally advocates globalization and free-trade, is thoroughly critical of the Democratic Party and global left-wing movements, is skeptical of mankind's involvement in global warming, is loudly defensive of Israel as a legitimate state and advocates an exceedingly assertive, aggressive American foreign policy against Islamist terrorism.
Guest writers come primarily from capitalist-conservative and libertarian think-tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute, the Hoover Institution, the Heritage Foundation, and the Cato Institute. IBD's editorial page has come under fire from anti-war blogs for its endorsement of the Iraq War, its call to increase military spending, its robust support for military mobilization and intervention against Iran, and its sturdy support for an all-comprehensive national missile defense system.
IBD is one of the few newspaper editorials that goes into depth on foreign and domestic military weapons capabilities. The editorials are always complemented by political and cultural cartoons by Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Ramirez or Cox and Forkum.
