The Progressive Policy Institute has formed a New Economy Task Force made up of leading members of Congress and New Economy entrepreneurs to foster a meaningful two-way dialogue about the challenges of public and private governance in the New Economy, to jointly develop principles and policy priorities for rethinking government policy in the Information Age, and to work to build a new consensus for political change consistent with these aims.

The Task Force met for the first time in Washington, DC on November 18, 1998 for the release of PPI's New Economy Index and again on September 13, 1999 to release The Rules of the Road: Governing Principles for the New Economy. Those two documents laid the intellectual groundwork for Making the New Economy Grow: An Action Agenda.
