About This Event

At a time of great economic turmoil and change in America, Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the House of Representatives and AEI scholar, and former Indianapolis mayor Stephen Goldsmith will conduct a four-part course on the principles necessary to fundamentally change how to think about and implement government policies and budgets.

Over the last two generations, federal, state, and local governments--much like General Motors, whose 60 percent market share in the early 1960s is now expected to shrink to 15 percent--have acquired unsustainable cost structures, habits, and policies. This course provides an introduction to the changes needed to enable America to compete in a twenty-first-century world market. An extensive reading list will also be included.
