The Heartland Institute has published books on a wide range of topics, from budget and tax to the digital economy. They are designed to be read, not put on a shelf and forgotten! The books can be purchased in Heartland’s online store and downloaded for reading on the Amazon Kindle. The full text of most is also available for free downloading in Adobe’s PDF format.
The Legislative Principles booklets are designed to: compile and express concisely legislative principles based upon research evidence too voluminous for most legislators, policy analysts, and interested citizens to read; and complement the news reporting in The Heartland Institute’s public policy newspapers. Each booklet in this series presents a set of principles central to the debate about a major public policy issue. Each principle, in turn, is carefully documented to enable readers to find the original sources.
