== Criticism and Controversies ==
While AEI is widely regarded as a leading think tank, it has faced criticism from some quarters, particularly from those on the political left. Critics argue that AEI’s advocacy for free-market policies can sometimes prioritize corporate interests over the welfare of vulnerable populations. Others contend that the institute’s foreign policy positions, particularly its support for military intervention, have been too aggressive.

Despite these criticisms, AEI defends its work by emphasizing its commitment to research grounded in evidence and its focus on advancing the cause of individual liberty and economic freedom.
