About Us
Providing college students and faculty with resources that integrate Christian faith, theology, and ethics into discussions about economics, public policy, and society
Our Mission
From 2009-2021, the Initiative on Faith & Public Life — launched as Values and Capitalism — was a unique outreach effort of the American Enterprise Institute to Christian college and universities that produced a range of programs, events, and resources.
The resources include books, essays, videos, and documentaries that cover a range of topics including economics, business, society, culture, politics and public policy, and vocation and calling, all from a distinctly Christian perspective. These educational resources are available on this website.
AEI is a public policy think tank in Washington, D.C. dedicated to defending human dignity, expanding human potential, and building a freer and safer world. The work of AEI scholars and staff advances ideas rooted in a belief in democracy, free enterprise, American strength and global leadership, solidarity with those at the periphery of society, and a pluralistic, entrepreneurial culture.
AEI’s Academic Programs team connects colleges and universities with the ideas and networks of the institute by facilitating educational and professional opportunities for students and faculty.
