If a woman decided not to have children, she's going to make it further faster. I'm not talking about holding open positions. I am saying that when you have a sixty-year-old woman and a fifty-year-old man applying for the same job, do not assume that a gap in her resume is any reflection of her talent or ability. Judge her on her merits. Show less «

Theory can no longer become policy without testing. The process of diagnosing a problem; researching solutions; proposing a law, regulation or course of government action; convincing government officials to enact that proposal; and then implementing the result is far too uncertain, slow and cumbersome to work. We have long understood the shortfalls of this approach. A great deal of what we call policy studies is actually the examination of unintended consequences. Social engineering schemes gone wrong, economic theories that worked beautifully on the back of a napkin , urban designs, tax incentives , criminal prohibitions - all producing results very far from what their authors hoped and planned. We can no longer afford such grand mistakes, and no longer do we need to take the risk of making them. Show less «
