Real policymaking is much messier than any of this, of course.
Thanks for your posts which I find interesting. Can you point me to any good sources on crafting better policies?
For context, I'm most interested in better policy choices that generally prioritize 'equal opportunity for all' as opposed to trying to engineer 'equal outcomes for all'.
I don't know a good new source, but there's an old book by Alan Blinder, "Hard Heads, Soft Hearts" that talks about how to take existing policy goals and how to redo them so that they are more economically efficient.
