Jack is an analyst, author, editor, and policy researcher focused on constitutional order, institutional governance, and political economy. His work examines the structure of American institutions and the conditions necessary for effective and legitimate self-government. His work is informed by a constitutional tradition concerned with institutional limits, accountability, and the preservation of liberty. He emphasizes structural constraints on concentrated authority—wherever it resides. Jack’s analysis explores the erosion of institutional governance and its consequences for legitimacy and policymaking, including congressional abdication; judicial displacement of legislative authority; the expansion of the administrative state; executive aggrandizement; the normalization of emergency powers; degradations of federalism; and extraterritorial regulatory regimes that undermine domestic accountability. He applies this framework across policy domains such as technology, finance, health care, and energy, with an emphasis on institutional repair. He writes and edits across formats, producing both long-form analysis and concise public-facing work, and regularly leads research projects from development through publication. His work engages policymakers at the federal and state levels, as well as media and other stakeholders. His writing has appeared in The Hill, Fox News, RealClearMarkets, and the Washington Examiner, among other outlets. He is also the coauthor of The Next Big Crash, which examines the legal and institutional foundations of the modern financial system and their implications for property rights and investor security under conditions of financial stress. Jack currently serves as a Senior Policy Analyst and Research Fellow at The Heartland Institute and is a Senior Fellow at Our Republic. He holds a master’s degree in international affairs from Loyola University Chicago and a bachelor’s degree in economics and history from Boston College.
