About us
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.

The conversation around the U.S. strategic competition with China often seems to assume that the United States is “lagging” China, and that the U.S. must “catch up” to Chinese manufacturing using protectionist measures. But why should the U.S. wish our economic policy to be more like China’s? China’s central planning will not be remembered as a long-term success. It has led to overinvestment in many sectors, a deeply imbalanced economy with too little consumption spending, a growth model struggling to transition away from exports, massive overbuilding of real estate, and an inadequate safety net. State policies have led to demographic problems that will have enormous economic ramifications. Moreover, to the limited extent that China’s model is working, it only works because their economy is embedded in an authoritarian state with a compliant industrial sector. Rather than uniting our allies, the protectionist policies of the Trump and Biden administrations have antagonized allies and called into question whether the U.S. is a reliable partner. Rather than pursuing narrow and clear objectives, the U.S.’s goals are broad, muddled, and in conflict with each other. A better approach would clearly acknowledge that China is a bad actor while taking a judicious approach, targeting a narrow set of practices, products, and technologies that clearly warrant intervention on economic security grounds, and pursuing that intervention in concert with as broad a coalition of allies as possible. It would not conflate economic security goals with domestic economic considerations, like trends in manufacturing employment. It would involve strengthening — and certainly not continuing to weaken — international institutions like the World Trade Organization. Finally, it would proceed with confidence in the American system of democratic capitalism.

Last week, Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed a 165-page brief from Special Counsel Jack Smith, containing new revelations about Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Writing in the New York Times, AEI scholar and former Assistant Attorney General Jack Landman Goldsmith explains why this filing, so close to the election, violates Justice Department rules and damages trust in the legal process.
