About The Heritage Foundation

Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institution—a think tank—whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense. We believe the principles and ideas of the American Founding are worth conserving and renewing. As policy entrepreneurs, we believe the most effective solutions are consistent with those ideas and principles.

  • Fine, Now Sell Taiwan the F-16s

    Posted January 29th, 2010 at 6:30pm in American Leadership, Protect America 20

    The Department of Defense today notified Congress on the sale of $6.4 billion in arms to Taiwan, including patriot missiles, black hawk helicopters and assistance for its military communications network.

  • China More Powerful than the United States?

    Posted December 8th, 2009 at 10:12am in Ongoing Priorities 3

    A recent Pew Research survey included a bizarre result: 44 percent of Americans believed China was the world’s top economic power, against only 27 percent picking the United States.

    Posted November 25th, 2009 at 9:45am in American Leadership, Enterprise and Free Markets 2

    In the midst of a downturn, it’s easy to lose perspective. It feels at the moment like America’s position in the world is slipping and Asia is taking our place. Permanently. On a longer view, that turns out to be only half-right: Asia is rising but America is not falling. With sound policies, the U.S. [...] More

  • America Needs More than Rhetoric and Piecemeal Trade Measures for Economic Growth

    Posted November 19th, 2009 at 3:44pm in American Leadership 0

    The President’s recognition in last night’s Fox News interview that exports play an important role in bolstering U.S. economic performance was welcome, but missed at least half of the trade story. Imports benefit America, too, through lower prices to consumers and manufacturers that raise incomes and boost productivity and competitiveness. The President promised a thorough review [...] More

  • President Obama’s Trade Failure

    Posted November 13th, 2009 at 11:14am in American Leadership 9

    There is a consensus, spanning the Democratic and Republican parties, our Asia-Pacific trade partners, and those interested around the world that President Obama is heading to Asia with one hand tied behind is back. The reason is his failure to develop and present a clear, coherent trade policy. Economics is king in the Asia-Pacific and trade [...] More

  • Japan: America’s Reluctant Ally

    Posted October 23rd, 2009 at 3:23pm in American Leadership 3

    The most surprising aspect of the dust-up between the U.S. and Japan is that anyone is surprised. It was obvious that the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) security policies ran counter not only to long-standing U.S. priorities but also to American strategic interests. Yet, the common post-election view among analysts and in the press [...] More
