25 Years of State Economic Policy

Are you interested in cutting through the partisan rhetoric about the state’s role in economic policy? Would you like to know what some of the state’s most experienced policy-makers–from both parties–would say about economic policy if you could get them around a table working as a group?

If so, you’ll be fascinated by this report–the unanimous product of a five-person working group, convened by MassINC, that was composed of five former cabinet secretaries from the Weld and Dukakis Administrations. Their insights provide a readable primer–for policy-makers and concerned citizens alike–on what the state can achieve, and what it can’t, through sound state economic policy.
