3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Manhattan Institute? Wrong! If the Manhattan Institute is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Manhattan Institute then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

The Manhattan Institute for Policy Research is a self-described "free market think tank" established in New York City in 1978, with its headquarters on Vanderbilt Avenue (Manhattan) in Midtown Manhattan Manhattan. They describe their mission as to "develop and disseminate new ideas that foster greater economic choice and individual responsibility." The Institute, known for its advocacy of free market-based solutions to policy problems, supports and publicizes research on taxes, welfare, crime, the legal system, urban life, race, education and immigration among others.Their message is communicated through books, articles, interviews, speeches, op-ed’s and through the institute's quarterly publication City Journal (New York), targeted at policymakers, politicians, scholars and journalists.

The Institute was influential with New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani during his tenure, providing many of the ideas and direction for New York City's policies in the 1990s.The Manhattan Institute continues to shape the American political landscape through market oriented policies that as the New York Times said in May of 1997, "turn intellect into influence."

Health policy For example, Benjamin Zycher, Senior Fellow at Manhattan Institute's Center for Medical Progress, opposes allowing the federal government to negotiate prices in the Medicare Part D prescription drug program, and argues that patients and their doctors should make their own decisions to choose drugs like Vioxx, rather than having the U.S. Food and Drug Administration decide on the basis of "bureaucratized ... scientific study." One-Size-Fits-All Rules Will Hurt Drug Quality, Wall Street Journal, April 4, 2007

The Manhattan Instititute issued a report by Frank Lichtenberg, a business professor at Columbia University, on the adverse effects of drug price negotiating in the Veterans Administration. Lichtenberg said that the VA National Formulary excludes many new drugs. Only 38% of drugs approved in the 1990s and 19% of the drugs approved since 2000 are on the formulary. He also argues that the life expectancy of veterans "may have declined" as a result.Older Drugs, Shorter Lives?: An Examination of the Health Effects of the Veterans Health Administration FormularyHowever, Lichtenberg has not published these results in the peer-reviewed medical literature.]

Paul Krugman came to the opposite conclusion, by comparing patients in the Medicare Advantage plans, which are administered by private contractors with a subsidy of 11% over traditional Medicare, to the VA system. Mortality rates in Medicare Advantage plans are 40% higher than mortality of elderly veterans treated by the V.A., said Krugman, citing the Medicare Payment Advisory CommissionHealth Policy Malpractice, Paul Krugman, New York Times, September 4, 2006.

Funding sources The Manhattan Institute received $19,470,416 in grants from 1985-2005, from foundations such as the Koch Family Foundations, the John M. Olin Foundation, Inc., the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the Scaife Foundations, and the Smith Richardson Foundation. The Manhattan Institute does not disclose its corporate funding, but the Capital Research Center listed its contributors as Bristol-Myers Squibb, Exxon Mobil, Chase Manhattan, Cigna, Sprint, Reliant Energy, Lincoln Financial Group Foundation, and Merill Lynch.
