Schultz on American Politics in the Age of Ignorance: Why <br />Lawmakers Choose Belief Over Evidence <br />State and local governments are often trumpeted as laboratories of democracy, capable of <br />significant policy innovation and expertise. Yet the reality is that more often than not both repeatedly <br />reenact failed policies that past research shows do not work. Prof. David Schultz of Hamline and the <br />University of Minnesota Law Schools examines why failed policies and political myths dominate the <br />political process by looking at such hot button issues as immigration and welfare migration;seeking <br />to lure businesses with tax breaks;and providing public subsidies for sports stadiums. <br />This lecture is free and open to community members without pre-registration. <br /> <br />This series is supported financially by Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. <br /> <br />
