The Manhattan
Institute for Policy Research (MI) is
a non-partisan public policy think tank that advocates for greater economic
choice and individual responsibility in New York. MI conducts research,
publishes a quarterly magazine, City Journal, and has developed
initiatives on college campuses in support of free-market ideas that shape
political culture. [1]
The Manhattan Institute is an associate member of
the State Policy Network,
a coalition of free-market state-level policy organizations. [2] While
MI is non-partisan, members of its board have affiliations with the Republican
Party.
History
The Manhattan Institute was founded as the International
Center for Economic Policy Studies in 1978 and took its present name in 1981.
During the Reagan administration, the Manhattan Institute advocated the
administration’s “supply-side” economic policies, with some calling MI scholar
George Gilder’s book Wealth and Poverty “the Bible of the
Reagan administration.” [3]
The Manhattan Institute has been credited with
influencing the crime-control policies of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R); the Institute is long
associated with promoting right-of-center policies in cities, especially New
York. [4]
Activities
The Manhattan Institute advocates for aggressive
education reform focused on preparation for college or the workforce, effective
and accountable schools, and safe school environments for students and
staff. [5] In
an October 2021 paper, MI claims that most school districts would see positive
fiscal effects from educational choice programs like education savings accounts
(ESA). The Manhattan Institute further claims that use of ESAs will provide
students who remain in public schools with more resources on a per-pupil basis. [6]
The Manhattan Institute advocates for free market-based
health care policy reforms that encourage competition, transparency, accountability,
and innovation. [7] In
a June 2021 paper, MI recommended establishing an individual insurance market
outside of the Affordable Care Act (ACA),
which mandates state regulations. The Manhattan Institute claims that the ACA
is responsible for the rise in the variation of individual market premiums
between states and that allowing competition across state lines would
ultimately lower health care premiums. [8]
The Manhattan Institute advocates for tax policy based on
market-based capitalism in order to advance free enterprise, fiscal discipline,
economic growth, and the rule of law. [9] In
an October 2020 paper, MI states that a wealth tax will not decrease wealth
inequality, provide more tax revenue, or prevent special interests from getting
government favors. The Manhattan Institute further claims that a wealth tax
could potentially damage the economy while bringing in little revenue. MI
proposes that a better solution for increasing revenue would be to reform the
tax system to remove many of the system’s existing distortions. [10]
Funding
The Manhattan Institute is funded by donations from
individuals, foundations, and corporations. While MI does not disclose its
donors, tax filings confirm donations from the Thomas W. Smith Foundation
($1.27 million in 2019), [11] the Lynde and
Harry Bradley Foundation ($625,000
in 2019), [12] and
the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation ($599,631 in 2017). [13]
