Promote Wage Growth
Incentivize Onshoring
Ensure Access to Capital
The economic success of the nation is driven by the individual will and genius of free men and women aspiring to achieve their dreams and further prosperity for themselves and their families. Our nation declared its independence in part because of a system of commerce that did not put the prosperity of Americans first and hindered, rather than embraced, the individual aspirations of Americans. In establishing a new Nation, our Founding Fathers sought to unleash the power of entrepreneurship and free enterprise so that Americans “who are possessed of the spirit of Commerce—who see and who will pursue their advantages, may achieve almost anything”.
The America First Policy Institute’s American Prosperity is dedicated to advancing public policy that puts the prosperity of American citizens first, to restoring and preserving the American free enterprise system, to defending American workers and their families, to promoting growth that lifts up forgotten communities, and to celebrating the innovative spirit of the American people. It is through this spirit—when Americans are free to pursue and achieve their dreams—that American prosperity reached unprecedented heights and will continue to achieve more than ever thought possible. American Prosperity will endeavor to research and educate the American public on policy grounded in the fundamental ideal that free Americans prosper.

How Red Tape Made Housing the Unachievable American Dream
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is right. America does have a housing crisis. Stubbornly high construction costs and interest rates have made housing prices across the country unaffordable for many average families. Both homeowners and renters struggle to afford the cost of housing, and the so-called solution of government-regulated affordable housing is exacerbating the problem.
