The American people need an economic agenda that will spur growth, reduce insecurity, and provide broadly shared prosperity. Drawing upon some of the best informed and most innovative experts, the Agenda for Shared Prosperity will advance an economic program that is comprehensive, understandable, and workable. For more information regarding the scope of EPI's policy initiative, read the project overview and a list of topics. See what others have written about the Agenda for Shared Prosperity in the media.
EPI's April 29 Agenda for Shared Prosperity event on infrastructure marked the release of two new briefing papers. The first report, Good Buildings, Better Schools, makes the case that the various benefits to both educational outcomes and a slumping economy argue for a one-time federal investment infusion to address the nation's crumbling, long-neglected education infrastructure. The second paper, Investing in U.S. Infrastructure, offers an overview of the myriad areas in which federal investment could provide short-term stimulus while strengthening the economy's foundation for long-term growth. Audio and video from this event are now available. (A full written transcript will be available soon.)
