Arthur C. Brooks (born May 21, 1964) is an American author, social scientist and musician, and currently serves as the president of the American Enterprise Institute.

At the age of 19, he left college to play the French horn professionally. After touring internationally and recording several albums, he eventually landed in the City Orchestra of Barcelona. Nearly a decade later, Brooks returned to the US and completed his bachelor's degree by correspondence. He went on to earn a Ph.D. in public policy, focusing on microeconomic and mathematical modeling. After completing his doctorate, he spent 10 years as a professor of public administration.

His titles include: The Conservative Heart: How to Build a Fairer, Happier and More Prosperous America; The Battle: How the Fight between Big Government and Free Enterprise will Shape America's Future; Gross National Happiness: Why Happiness Matters for America--And How We Can Get More of it; Social Entrepreneurship: A Modern Approach to Social Value Creation; and Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth about Compassionate Conservatism.
