R Street Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research organization. Our mission is to engage in policy research and outreach to promote free markets and limited, effective government.

We believe free markets work better than the alternatives. We also recognize that the legislative process calls for practical responses to current problems. To that end, our motto is “Free markets. Real solutions.”

We offer research and analysis that advance the goals of a more market-oriented society and an effective, efficient government, with the full realization that progress on the ground tends to be made one inch at a time. In other words, we look for free-market victories on the margin.

Is Congress up to the job on these critical issues? Does it have the resources? What more can it do?

Scott Anderson, Rubenstein Fellow, Brookings Institution
Megan Reiss, Senior Fellow, R Street Institute
Paul Rosenzweig, Senior Fellow, R Street Institute
