Public Policy
- Share to:
Public policy affects each citizen in hundreds of ways, some of them familiar
and some unsuspected. Citizens directly confront public policy when they
are arrested for speeding, but they seldom remember that the advertising on
the television shows they watch is regulated by the Federal Communications
Commission and the Federal Trade Commission. Many citizens who complain
loudly at tax time about government bureaucracy and overregulation have forgotten
the fire and police protection or the paved streets those revenues provide.
Indeed, public policy in America affects a vast range of activities, from nuclear
warheads to bathroom plumbing, from arresting lawbreakers to providing medical
care for the elderly. This book aims to clarify key dimensions of this ubiquitous
influence on American life and to introduce the debates swirling around its
major controversies. It takes an issue-oriented approach to the beginning study of
public policy.
