Public policy in the Information Economy is central to the health of the global economy, invokes fundamental free speech issues, and determines how our basic social and economic institutions are shaped. Already, a debate about the nature of the Internet rages: Will information technology drive an economic realignment to a post-capitalist "commons," or are today's disruptive technologies an example of the market's ability to harness creative destruction through property rights?

In addition to publishing studies in leading economics journals, law reviews, and policy forums, the IEP reaches beyond academic audiences, placing provocative essays in such popular outlets as Barron's, Financial Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
