Roosevelt Institute
Template:Short description Template:Infobox Institute
The Roosevelt Institute is a liberal American think tank headquartered in New York City.[1]
History and overview
The Roosevelt Institute was created in 1987 through the merger of the Eleanor Roosevelt Institute and the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Foundation.[2] In 2007, the Roosevelt Institute merged with the Roosevelt Institution, now known as the Roosevelt Institute Campus Network.[3] It remains the non-profit partner to the government-run Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, the nation's first presidential library. In 2009, it expanded its mission with the launch of the Four Freedoms Center, a progressive policy think tank, and an economic policy blog.
Felicia Wong, formerly of the Democracy Alliance, became the organization's president and CEO in March 2012.[4] In 2015, the Roosevelt Institute was added to the Democracy Alliance's list of recommended funding targets.[5] Other donors to the Roosevelt Institute include the Ford Foundation, the Hewlett Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Bauman Foundation.[6]
Activities
Joseph Stiglitz is the Roosevelt Institute's chief economist. In 2015, a report authored by Stiglitz offered an indictment of 35 years of U.S. economic policies.[1][7] Elizabeth Warren and Bill de Blasio joined Stiglitz at the press conference to announce the report.[8][9] The 37 policy recommendations in the Stiglitz report include progressive taxation and an expansion of government programs.[10]
Time called the Stiglitz report "a roadmap for what many progressives would like to see happen policy wise over the next four years."[11] According to The Washington Post, the institute's plan is "firmly rooted in the conviction that more government can solve most of America's economic challenges. It is a plan seemingly designed to rally liberals, enrage free-market economists and push a certain presumptive presidential nominee to the left."[9]
