Description:

With the warring between left and right, Democrats and Republicans, advocacy groups on one side and advocacy groups on the other, it seems as if those who set our national agenda are those who shout the loudest. But shouldn't scholarship count for more than preconceived notions? With humor and insight, Paul Gary Wyckoff debunks myths about economic and social policy while explaining the standards of evidence that should guide our legislation. He also recommends revisions to economics and law curricula so that legislators will know how to craft policy from research rather than conventional wisdom and theory.
