More on Economic Policy Institute
Description from Wikipedia:
The Economic Policy Institute is a US think tank. Economists who founded the nonprofit organization in 1986 included Jeff Faux,, Barry Bluestone, Robert Kuttner, Ray Marshall, Robert Reich, and Lester Thurow. The institute was the first organization to focus on the economic conditions of working Americans and their families. Initially, the institute’s core research program areas included changes in the area of living standards and in labor market opportunities, trade and competitiveness issues, and the role of government in the economy. As the institute grew, it added education as one of the major programs to its portfolio.
