The Manhattan Institute for Policy Research is an influential New York City-based free market think tank established in 1978. Their self-described mission is to "develop and disseminate new ideas that foster greater economic choice and individual responsibility." The Institute supports and publicizes research on taxes, welfare, crime, the legal system, urban life, race, education and immigration among others.Their message is communicated through books, articles, interviews, speeches, op-ed’s and through the institute's quarterly publication City Journal, targeted at policymakers, politicians, scholars and journalists.

The Institute was influential with New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani during his tenure, providing many of the ideas and direction for New York City's policies in the 1990s. The Manhattan Institute continues to shape the American political landscape through market oriented policies that as the New York Times said in May of 1997, "turn intellect into influence."
