The Mission of the Manhattan Institute is
to develop and disseminate new ideas that
foster greater economic choice and
individual responsibility.

“For twenty-five years, the Manhattan Institute has confronted old problems with fresh thinking. Many of the Institute’s emblematic ideas—from the notion that low taxes encourage businesses to the concept that police should be treated with respect—were originally greeted with skepticism but have since been embraced by well-run cities everywhere. Congratulations on a quarter century of making a difference.”

—Rudolph W. Giuliani

- Vice President Dick Cheney

"I want to thank the Manhattan Institute, and its president Larry Mone, not just for bringing us together this morning, but for more than 25 years of scholarship, and leadership, in reshaping public policy in our city.

- President George W. Bush
