In the report's outline of a core curriculum for public leaders Bok includes "an exposure to economics" with an emphasis on training that "should enable students to analyze the role of incentives in influencing the behavior of individuals and institutions."

Treating them like part of the sideshow, the Bullets won by 25 points and reinforced the claim that under...
