The Institute for SocioEconomic Studies
(ISES) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan operating foundation
established in 1974 by Leonard Greene.
Our mission is to provide a national
forum for innovative insights and solutions bearing on
a wide variety of socioeconomic issues, with the goal
of enhancing opportunity and improving quality of life.
The Institute places a premium on objectivity
and credibility in examining topical issues that include
economic, energy, health care, tax, and welfare policy.
The Institute's solutions seek to leverage market forces,
encourage fiscal accountability, and promote or develop
incentives for earning, saving, and investing.
These aims are pursued through research
papers, opinion pieces, seminars, conferences, and special
initiatives targeted to members of Congress, key Congressional
staff members, and Executive Branch policy makers, along
with the news media, business, academic, and public policy
communities. |

Monetary Policy and Real Estate
Bubbles
by Donald Sutherland
February 11, 2009
The collapse of the U.S. housing bubble, and
the severe credit crunch and significant recession that followed,
have renewed debate about a possible role for monetary policy
in preempting such bubbles. The evolution of a growing real
estate futures market and development of new policy tools could
permit the Federal Reserve to intervene in reducing the risk
of the emergence of housing bubbles.

 INVENTORSHIP
The Art of Innovation
by Leonard M. Greene
ISES President and Founder
From the Publisher
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
A fascinating volume on becoming both innovative and
inventive, Inventorship combines the best traits of
innovators
and inventors. Leonard Greene -- inventor of the lifesaving
aircraft stall warning indicator, automatic throttles, and wind
shear detector, and holder of more than 100 patents -- tells
how the techniques inventors use can be the key to
enhancing
the creative aspects of everyone’s life. He writes
a lively
personal account on how to practice inventorship
to great advantage -- a hot subject now, especially with
the development of e-commerce.

“From
this lively and personal account, we learn that we
can all
practice inventorship to great advantage -- measured either in
gold or pleasure, or perhaps both!”
--From the Foreword by Walter Cronkite |
