The libertarian think tank Niskanen Center is abandoning libertarianism. For millions of people, ideology is the lighthouse in a dark sea of politics.
An uncompromising vision of how the world is supposed to work, and how to fix it, is just too alluring for partisans to ignore. Political parties’ most frenzied supporters are demanding ideological purity from their candidates as they push out moderates, especially on the right. As a result, ever fewer temperate souls are left to hold the middle ground in politics. Yet the libertarian think tank Niskanen Center in Washington, DC, argues the moderate middle is the future. Niskanen president Jerry Taylor wrote in an Oct. 29 essay that he is dropping the libertarian banner the center has shared with the likes of the more conservative Cato Institute. The future of American politics, he argues, is principled compromise, even if the present couldn’t seem further away. ”I think we’re living in a world in which moderation has virtually disappeared,” he says in an interview with Quartz.
PJI - PJ Institute. The PJ InstituteTM provides empirical research from the world's top thought leaders on the issues that frequently lead the news cycle.
Their in-depth analysis spans a variety of topics, from the economy and personal finance, to history and its impact on the present. PJI offers its research and education through an array of new media and social media technologies. PJI also sponsored an investigative report on a living Nazi SS Colonel who played a pivotal role in authorizing the Holocaust. As part of its Maxed Out America initiative, the PJ Institute and consulting economist, Laurence Kotlikoff, analyzed U.S. government data to forecast the year when the nation might not be able to borrow money to finance its spending. By carefully analyzing the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) long- and short-term forecasts, the institute was able to identify the year in which U.S. debt could go critical.
