Systematic Thinking for Social Action: Assessing the Civil Jury System
In January 1970 Alice M. Rivlin spoke to an audience at the University of California-Berkeley. The topic was developing a more rational approach to decisionmaking in government. If digital video, YouTube, and TED Talks had been inventions of the 1960s, Rivlin's talk would have been a viral hit. As it was, the resulting book,Systematic Thinking for Social Action, spent years on the Brookings Press bestseller list. Is is a very personal and convers…
Systematic Thinking for Social Action
Health Reform: What Next
The political rhetoric of the 2012 election suggested that Americans are deeply split over how to deliver and pay for health care. In fact, however, the election may have cleared the way for substantial reforms in health care delivery that will gradually enable the United States to finance effective health care for almost everyone at a sustainable cost. The election affirmed for the first time that almost everyone in the United States will have h…
Rethinking Federalism for More Effective Governance
For common reasons the federal government and most state governments face rising structural deficits even as the economy recovers. An aging population requires retirement income and increasingly expensive health care, while a prosperous economy requires public investment in skills, technology, and infrastructure. However, stressed federal and state tax systems are increasingly inadequate. The author revisits proposals, made twenty years ago, for …

The federal budget: The erosion of bipartisan fiscal discipline
Free Money
Greed, Ethics, and Public Policy
Corporate scandals stemming from misleading information recently rocked financial markets. Public sector leaders also face temptations to mislead the public. Successful leaders in both sectors must be optimistic, competitive, willing to take risks, and good communicators. These personality traits make them especially prone to over-optimism and unwillingness to admit error. Strict enforcement of accounting rules can help restore integrity in the c…

Distinguished Lecture on Economics in Government: Strengthening the Economy by Rethinking the Role of Federal and State Governments
This lecture brings together two subjects that are not often discussed together: national economic policy and the structure of American federalism. My thesis is that the policies needed to improve the health of the U.S. economy over the next decade or two require a new look at the division of responsibilities between the federal government and the states. In particular, I will argue that the states should have much clearer responsibility for most…

The Swedish Economy
A Public Policy Paradox
Over the last two decades policy analysis has flourished, as government has turned increasingly to the services of policy experts. With the refinement of analytic tools vast amounts of data have been made available to decision-makers. These developments have no doubt enhanced the management of many government programs. But some of the most serious policy problems-those involving macroeconomic policy and aspects of foreign policy - have not yielde…

If you like your social science balanced and objective ("on the one hand, on the other hand") you will find this book infuriating. But you may be applying an irrelevant standard. This book does not pretend to be part of the tradition of balanced, objective social science in which the scholar hides (or claims to hide)his personal biases, and attempts to present all the evidence on both sides of a set of questions so that the reader may judge for h…

Characteristics of "Other" Families
Characteristics of “other” families
Las “otras familias” en la clasificación del Censo de los Estados Unidos son aquellas familias cuyo jefe es un hombre o una mujer sin que el respectivo cónyuge esté presenie, pero que tienen uno o más parientes viviendo dentro del seno familiar. El propósito de la investigación fue comparar las características de estas familias con las familias “normales” de marido y mujer. En 1960 habío 5.5 millones de “otras familias.” Esas familias resultan de…
