Although the CFE was originally established upon the libertarian belief according to the philosophy of [[Friedrich Hayek]] and [[Ludwig von Mises]], in later years, it expressed neoconservative, authoritarian or even McCarthyist ideas. For example, CFE enthusiastically advocated the nationalization of history textbooks in Korea, which was mainly discussed under the [[Park Geun-hye]] administration. Some libertarian scholars considered that the CFE had ruined libertarian ideas. However, after the impeachment of the Park administration, in 2017, the CFE changed its name from "자유경제원" to "자유기업원".
