America is facing an economic crisis rivaled only by the Great Depression in its depth and duration. Market-oriented, back-to- basics regulatory policies—not centralized government micromanagement—will lead our nation back to an era of economic stability and prosperity. The Manhattan Institute provides rapid-fire responses to economic policy proposals, and original essays that demonstrate how to avoid the next crisis. Manhattan Institute scholars Diana Furchtgott-Roth and Nicole Gelinas, provide their insight on a range of topics.

Issue Areas

Financial Markets – Well-functioning capital markets are the best way for investors to fund ideas that create jobs and wealth. MI scholars explain what it takes for markets to function well in terms of regulatory, tax, and trade policy.

The Fed and Monetary Policy – The Fed's interest-rate policy and the central bank's other policies can support free markets – or distort them. MI scholars observe the Fed and explain how its actions are helping or harming recovery.

Tax and Fiscal Policy – Americans have a clear choice--whether to increase taxes, or to put in place fundamental tax reform to lower rates and get rid of deductions. MI scholars have written and spoken extensively on the need for fundamental tax reform in order to stimulate economic growth.
