Who we are: The American Enterprise Institute is a public policy think tank dedicated to defending human dignity, expanding human potential, and building a freer and safer world. The work of our scholars and staff advances ideas rooted in our belief in democracy, free enterprise, American strength and global leadership, solidarity with those at the periphery of our society, and a pluralistic, entrepreneurial culture. How we do it: We are committed to making the intellectual, moral, and practical case for expanding freedom, increasing individual opportunity, and strengthening the free enterprise system in America and around the world. Our work explores ideas that further these goals, and AEI scholars take part in this pursuit with academic freedom. AEI operates independently of any political party and has no institutional positions. Our scholars’ conclusions are fueled by rigorous, data-driven research and broad-ranging evidence. Our work: Our scholars not only engage in research that focuses on today’s most critical challenges but also look ahead to ideas and issues that have yet to be widely recognized. AEI scholars pursue innovative, independent work across a wide array of subjects. From economics, education, health care, and poverty to foreign and defense studies, public opinion, politics, society, and culture, our experts drive the competition of ideas.

For the past few months, the military situation in Ukraine has steadily deteriorated. As the West searches for a path to victory, or at least a decent peace, Hal Brands explains why neither Donald Trump’s, Kamala Harris’s, nor Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s plans can credibly bring the war to a satisfactory conclusion.

The number of first-year students on America's college campuses dropped five percent this fall, according to preliminary figures from the National Student Clearinghouse. The collapse in enrollment is concentrated among schools serving large numbers of low-income students. At four-year colleges with high proportions of students who qualify for Pell Grants, freshman enrollment dropped more than 10 percent. Note that these figures are preliminary and could change. But the overall conclusion—a significant drop in freshman enrollment—is likely to remain. The seeds of this fall’s freshman enrollment plunge were planted years ago, when the Education Department neglected its congressional mandate to simplify the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Department launched the supposedly simplified form three months late, and the new FAFSA was full of technical glitches and errors that prevented many students from completing it at all. Three-quarters of calls to the Department’s FAFSA help center went unanswered, according to a watchdog report. As a result, the number of high school seniors and other first-time financial aid applicants completing the FAFSA for the current year dropped by 325,000—a nine percent decline. And the problems may not be over. Read more in my latest post for the American Enterprise Institute: https://lnkd.in/eqKkV_V4
Rather than trying in vain to re-create the jobs of the past, the next US administration must focus on preparing workers for the jobs that are available today—and that will be needed tomorrow. Michael Strain in Project Syndicate 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gvzwC3-z

The dominant political narrative finds Vice President Harris and former president Trump to be vastly different candidates and their parties as trapped in gridlock. That narrative is dominant for good reasons. But if you define what government does based on how it spends taxpayer dollars, there is seemingly a strong consensus. This bipartisan consensus is a threat to future prosperity. My latest Financial Times column. Link: https://lnkd.in/e4Ynk4er
