History

edit
 
New America's headquarters inWashington, D.C.

New America was founded in 1999 byTed Halstead, Sherle Schwenninger,Michael Lind, andWalter Russell Mead as the New America Foundation.[7] The organization is headquartered inWashington, D.C., and also has offices inOakland, California andChicago, Illinois.[5][8]

Ted Halstead served as New America's founding president and CEO from 1999 to 2007.[9]Steve Coll served as New America's second president,[10] before being succeeded by Anne-Marie Slaughter in 2013.[11]

On June 27, 2017,Barry C. Lynn, the director of the anti-monopoly Open Markets program at New America, issued a statement, criticizingGoogle, one of the organization's main sponsors. On August 30, 2017, it became known that Lynn was fired, and the Open Markets program was closed.[12][13] According toThe New York Times, New America did it to please Google.[14][15] In response to the decision to fire Lynn and his team, 25 former and current employees of the think tank signed a letter expressing concern about the extent to which sponsors are influencing New America's work.[16]

 
Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO of New America

Google reportedly made New America take this action because the researchers, including prominent young competition law scholarLina Khan,[17] had lauded theEU's antitrust ruling against Google.[18] New America's president Anne-Marie Slaughter denied the allegations of improper influence by Google.[14]

The foundation's Economic Growth Program, directed by New America co-founders Sherle Schwenninger andMichael Lind, aims to take a policy look at America and the world's economic problems. In 2011, the program commissioned a paper "The Way Forward: Moving From the Post-Bubble, Post-Bust Economy to Renewed Growth and Competitiveness".[19]

Maya MacGuineas, who has worked at theBrookings Institution as well as on Wall Street, led the committee and now leads Fix the Debt. After advising politicians from both parties, she serves as a trusted mediator on budget talks between Democrats and Republicans.[20] In addition, in 2010, the committee's policy director, Marc Goldwein, joined President Obama's bipartisanNational Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.[21]
