  • 35 Years 1982-2017
    Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business & Government CREATING PUBLIC VALUE BY ENGAGING BUSINESS & GOVERNMENT 35 YEARS 1982-2017 Weil Hall, John F. Kennedy School, Harvard University From the Directors The Presidential election has brought a renewed focus to our work at the intersection of government policy and private sector activity. Policy changes in Washington are being proposed at a rapid pace. Across the globe, countries are grappling with divisions on immigration, border control, climate change, job creation and economic growth. The Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business & Government (M-RCBG) is uniquely positioned to help inform the debate and provide reasoned analysis. Through our programs and affiliated faculty, the Center studies regulation; it examines energy policies; it thinks about the role of public and private sector collaboration in education; it ponders the future of finance; it considers the future of the international trading system; it considers how best to protect the environment and strives to develop paradigms through which sustainability can be an important idea in every part of economic discourse; it promotes corporate responsibility; and it focuses on markets as central institutions in our society - institutions that cannot stand completely alone without strong public policies that undergird their function. Thank you for your interest in our work. We hope you will continue learning about the Center, our research activities, seminars, events, working papers, op-eds, faculty affiliates, fellows, and student programs - all focused on creating public value at the interface of business and government. Lawrence H. Summers John A. Haigh Weil Director, Mossavar-Rahmani Center Co-director, Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business & Government, and Charles W.

    ’S BEST THINKERS Y TOPWONKSYOUR GUIDE TO THE COUNTR VOL. 01 THE ECONOMY TOPWONKS YOUR GUIDE TO THE COUNTRY’S BEST THINKERS VOL. 01 THE ECONOMY edited by ERICA PAYNE 4 TOPWONKS THE ECONOMY VOL. 01 FOREWORD For many citizens, our country’s defining aspiration— that all people deserve the freedom to realize their full, individual potential – is increasingly unattainable. Our economy—once a powerful vehicle for the realization of our individual and common goals— no longer offers a sure ride to prosperity. Many of our strongest businesses rely on lobbyists and subsidies for profits. Rather than meeting their constitutional obligation to represent the interests of their fellow citizens, politicians act as stewards of their own political capital. The inherent challenge of creating effective public policy is exacerbated by false scholarship, flawed theory, and ideological fervor. This volume is our attempt to wipe the slate clean. In this volume we offer profiles of the top economic thinkers in the country, minds committed to intellectual innovation and analytical rigor. We feature classically trained economists, public policy professionals and scholars from a rich variety of fields. Our website at www.topwonks.org explores their scholarship in greater depth. Top Wonks:The economy is a guide to a world of ideas that can drive our economy and our country forward. With it, we hope to put powerful ideas and vigorous thinking in the driver’s seat of our economy. I suggest you buckle up for the ride. —EricaPayne 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS With thanks to all of the Top Wonks for their participation in this project.
