With a new president in the White House, it is essential that he have the necessary resources to craft an agenda and establish policies and priorities for his Administration. The new Heritage Foundation book Priorities for the President does just that. 
Part of an ongoing series published by Heritage every four years (with one exception) since 1980, Priorities For The President identifies the core elements of a responsible agenda for the next administration and a detailed plan on how to achieve that agenda. The third book in the 2000 Mandate for Leadership Project addresses important foreign and domestic policy issues such as education, social security, taxes, and national defense.

Economics

The annual Index of Economic Freedom is a detailed, country-by-country analysis of the economies of 162 nations. For each country, it includes often hard-to-obtain 2001 data on taxes, foreign investment codes, tariffs, banking regulations, monetary policy and more. The Index ranks economies according to how free they are. A country`s score on the annual Index is a measure of its overall economic health and its prospects for growth. Now in its eighth year, the Index of Economic Freedom is an indispensable handbook for anyone who invests or does business abroad. A must for every coporate and university library.

A former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State and currently a Distinguished Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Kim R. Holmes surveys the state of liberalism in America today and finds that it is becoming its oppositeilliberalismabandoning the precepts of open-mindedness and respect for individual rights, liberties, and the rule of law upon which the country was founded, and becoming instead an intolerant, rigidly dogmatic ideology that abhors dissent and stifles free speech. Tracing the new illiberalism historically to the radical Enlightenment, a movement that rejected the classic liberal ideas of the moderate Enlightenment that were prominent in the American Founding, Holmes argues that today’s liberalism has forsaken its American roots, incorporating instead the authoritarian, anti-clerical, and anti-capitalist prejudices of the radical and largely European Left. The result is a closing of the American liberal mind. Where once freedom of speech and expression were sacrosanct, today liberalism employs speech codes, trigger warnings, boycotts, and shaming rituals to stifle freedom of thought, expression, and action. It is no longer appropriate to call it liberalism at all, but illiberalisma set of ideas in politics, government, and popular culture that increasingly reflects authoritarian and even anti-democratic values, and which is devising new strategies of exclusiveness to eliminate certain ideas and people from the political process. Although illiberalism has always been a temptation for American liberals, lurking in the radical fringes of the Left, it is today the dominant ideology of progressive liberal circles. This makes it a new danger not only to the once venerable tradition of liberalism, but to the American nation itself, which needs a viable liberal tradition that pursues social and economic equality while respecting individual liberties.
