Brookings Classics

Groundbreaking books from the Brookings Institution’s past that are relevant to the issues of the day. Reissued for the Centennial.

Thoughtful, important, and timely books have been the hallmark of the Brookings Institution Press since its founding, and we’ve been fortunate to count among our ranks of authors some of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. As part of the 100th anniversary of the Brookings Institution, we honor the press’s most notable authors and their works through the Brookings Classics series, so that new readers may discover these important books for the first time and past readers may revisit them.
