Nurturing courageous future leadership
Education
Cultivating prosperity is the aim of the Prosperity Institute. To develop flourishing families and nations, we research and advocate for effective institutions.
At the same time, institutions and laws are meaningless without committed public servants exercising creativity, judgement, and leadership in the public square.
We offer internships and early-career fellowships for aspiring, character-driven public leaders.
Writing about political institutions, Edmund Burke said that the character of individuals within them is “of ten thousand times greater consequence than all the formalities in the world” and that “no name, no power, no function, no artificial institution whatsoever, can make the men, of whom any system of authority is composed, any other than God, and Nature, and education, and their habits of life have made them.”
Edmund Burke, Reflections on the revolution in France.
