Policy and Evidence in a Partisan Age : The Great Disconnect - Thryft

Evidence-based policy for a divided America.

This book would be a great read for individuals who are interested in understanding the disconnection between evidence-based policies and partisan politics. Paul Gary Wyckoff debunks myths about economic and social policies while explaining the standards of evidence that should guide our legislation, making it a perfect read for individuals who want to see the research behind government decisions. Additionally, Wyckoff recommends education revisions to ensure the next generation of policymakers craft evidence-based policies derived from research.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

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? Policy and Evidence in a Partisan Age debunks myths about economic and social policy while explaining the standards of evidence that should guide our legislation. Author Paul Gary Wyckoff also recommends revisions to economics and law curricula so that the next generation of legislators will know how to craft evidence-based policy derived from research rather than conventional wisdom and theory.
