To support a study of the future direction of American values, attitudes and life-styles, relying on the analyses, interpretations and critiques of academic historians. The Institute, a private, non-profit research organization, seeks to generate "alternative future contexts" for the nation, based on a systematic synthesis and review of America's past and an evaluation of its present by consultants representing different positions on the ideological spectrum. This study is being carried out in the context of the Bicentennial, a unique atmosphere in which to promote national discussion on America's past and its potential for the future.
