Arthur
C. Brooks–who is Louis A. Bantle Professor of Business and Government
Policy at Syracuse University and a visiting scholar at the American
Enterprise Institute–has been chosen by the AEI Board of Trustees to
be the InstituteÂ’s next president. He will succeed Christopher DeMuth
on January 1, 2009.
Here is Arthur’s home page. Here are previous MR mentions of Arthur Brooks, all favorable I believe. I thank…Alex…for the pointer. Bryan Caplan and Will Wilkinson have blogged his research as well.
What are the reasons AEI is so amazingly repulsive? A blog post listing them would take up several yards.
I desperately want go on and on but this should be enough.
Rich people should realize that they get a bigger bang for their buck by donating to think tanks than to universities. For example, Harvard’s endowment is $35 billion while AEI’s is only $76 million.
Now Harvard has lots of things that AEI doesn’t have, but, let me ask you this: Does it have its own war?
