Printed in the USA 2. FEDERAL BUDGET Published by: FEDERAL BUDGET 4. The Fiscal Policy Context for a Conservative Reform Agenda JAMES C. CAPRETTA 5. Dear Reader: The Conservative Reform Network (CRN) recognizes that today’s challenges won’t be met by yesterday’s solutions. That’s why we are eager to deliver a new series of important policy papers that will offer fresh, innovative solutions to some of the biggest policy challenges facing America—practical solutions that are ready to be put into action. John Murray Chairman Building on the tremendous success of our 2014 essay collection, Room to Grow: Conservative Reforms for a Limited Government and a Thriving Middle Class, we are pleased to bring you Room to Grow: A Series. Each briefing book in the series will tackle a specific set of domestic policy challenges and provide thoughtful analysis from a leading expert in the field. CRN commissioned this series of more than a dozen briefing books to show how a conservative agenda can empower individuals by replacing failed one-size-fits-all government programs with policies that foster opportunity, choice, and competition.

  • Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America
    Issue No. 4, Fall 2020 Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America Sharing the Blessings of Freedom By Robert Doar During these difficult past few months, AEI scholars have been tackling all of our toughest challenges. We have written about the economy, of course, and the pandemic. We have called attention to the dangers posed by China. We have also written about the importance of employment to people trying to escape poverty. And we have not been afraid to take on the thorniest of issues in America: race. This topic is not new to AEI. In a previous period, our community played a key role in the national discussion, as scholars such as Ben Wattenberg, Bob Woodson, and Walter Berns reacted to the excess of the 1960s and 1970s. Back then, AEI scholars were for peaceful protests in Selma but against violent lawlessness in Newark or Columbia University. We were for civil rights under law but against quotas that defined people by their race or gender rather than the content of their character. We knew Jim Crow had to go, but we also believed in Justice John Marshall Harlan’s admonition that our laws should be color-blind and that our Constitution “neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens.” That spirit remains very much a part of who we are at AEI; I have written about it, and so has one of our newest scholars, Ian Rowe. Together, these principles promote economic opportunity for all and ensure that every American shares in the blessings of freedom and equality that make our country great.

Packaging Politics looks at how the rise of consumer culture over the past 60 years has influenced presidential campaigning and political culture more broadly. Drawing on interviews with political consultants, political reporters, marketing experts and communications scholars, Packaging Politics explores the formal and informal ways that commercial marketing methods – specifically emotional and open source branding and micro and behavioral targeting – have migrated to the

Our guest today is Yuval Levin, policy analyst, policy practitioner, a former White House staffer. And among other things, now editor of the very fine journal, National Affairs. What is National Affairs? Why National Affairs? LEVIN: Well, thank you. National Affairs is a quarterly journal of essays on domestic policy and political thought – political ideas. It tries to sit at the intersection of policy – concrete policy – and political theory and political thought. It exists really because in the wake of the 2008 elections, after a series of conversations among people on the right, including you, among others, we came to the view that one of the things that were missing on the right was a venue for people to think out loud in a serious way, both about policy ideas where the policy agenda seemed to be a little empty, and about political ideas about how, about what conservatism should mean in the 21st century and how that might apply to people’s lives. And we had a clear model. The model really was The Public Interest, which had run for 40 years and which had shut down about five years before that.

    OUR COMMON REINVENTING AMERICAN PURPOSEDEMOCRACY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY COMMISSION ON THE PRACTICE OF DEMOCRATIC CITIZENSHIP Thus I consent, Sir, to this Constitution because I expect no better, and because I am not sure that it is not the best. The opinions I have had of its errors, I sacrifice to the public good. I have never whispered a syllable of them abroad. Within these walls they were born, and here they shall die. If every one of us in returning to our Constituents were to report the objections he has had to it, and endeavor to gain partizans in support of them, we might prevent its being generally received, and thereby lose all the salutary effects and great advantages resulting naturally in our favor among foreign Nations as well as among ourselves, from our real or apparent unanimity. —BENJAMIN FRANKLIN FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE COMMISSION ON THE PRACTICE OF DEMOCRATIC CITIZENSHIP OUR COMMON REINVENTING AMERICAN PURPOSEDEMOCRACY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY american academy of arts & sciences Cambridge, Massachusetts © 2020 by the American Academy of Arts & Sciences All rights reserved.
