Goals
I want to get a sense of the science of public policy, to whatever extent one exists, so that I do not unnecessarily reinvent the wheel whenever I have a policy-making problem. I want a better sense of preparedness for the decisions I will have to make, ultimately, as a CEO or major world leader. I want to have tools for examining how I could have been more effective as a policy-maker at Oberlin.
