The Wall Street financial crisis has been followed by a surge of government spending, ownership, and control unprecedented in America's peacetime history. What consequences will these changes have for the economy and our free institutions? How can we safeguard the dynamism and creativity of the American economy? How should defenders of free markets respond to the ambitious initiatives advanced by the Obama administration?

On July 22, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani will speak at AEI to address these critical issues.
