The 4% Growth Project was launched by the Bush Institute in 2011 with the goal of achieving sustainable and real GDP growth of four percent, an attainable level that will ensure Americans of better jobs, lower debt, and vastly increased opportunity and prosperity.
Through this conference and other events, the 4% Growth Project identified changes in government policy and business practices that will produce higher growth and advocated those changes to policy makers and the public. The aim of this conference was to change the economic conversation in America so that it focuses on growth and what causes it.
