America is in the midst of a pivotal moment. The coronavirus pandemic and subsequent shutdowns have devastated local economies and dramatically shifted how and where we work, learn, buy, sell, and make things. These challenges have exposed dysfunctional government institutions and outdated policies.
Members of the 117th Congress have an opportunity to restore legislative power and advance a resilient economic recovery. In the biennial report, Free to Prosper: A Pro-Growth Agenda for the 117th Congress, CEI experts outline concrete economic policy proposals that promote long-term resilience and systemic reform.
Join CEI for a discussion of the forthcoming report with featured remarks delivered by Senator Rand Paul. Following, CEI experts Sean Higgins, Iain Murray, and Ryan Young will join CEI President Kent Lassman for a discussion of key reform priorities for the upcoming term that encourage regulatory accountability, labor market flexibility, and trade liberalization.
