- In their own words
- “Open the Books exists for one reason: to make the unseen visible. We operate the largest private database of public spending in history — billions of records tracing every dollar spent by federal, state, and local governments. At Open the Books, we believe transparency is a first principle, secured by the Founders in the Constitution and a precondition for freedom itself.” About page
