State and local governments are often trumpeted as laboratories of
democracy, capable of significant policy innovation and expertise.
Yet the reality is that states more often than not repeatedly
reenact failed policies that past research shows do not work.
American Politics in the Age of Ignorance contends that policy
making is shrouded in many myths and that policy makers often
ignore ample research and evidence when it comes to legislating on
a range of issues. Examining such hot button issues as restricting
immigration and welfare migration, seeking to lure businesses with
tax breaks, and providing public subsidies for sports stadiums,
this book catalogs a list of repeatedly enacted failed policies
that public officials advocate, offering a critical and skeptical
analysis of the policy process.
